7-3-151. Treatment of suboptions for alternative forms. (1) No petition recommendation may involve more than three separate suboptions, and no suboption may contain more than two alternatives. If a suboption is submitted to the voters, only the ballot alternatives within that suboption receiving the highest number of affirmative votes are considered approved and included in the alternative form of government. If the alternative form of government fails, a suboption is of no effect.
     (2) A proposed plan shall be submitted to the voters as a single question, except that the suboptions within the alternative plan of local government authorized in Title 7, chapter 3, parts 1 through 6, and the suboptions authorized in a charter may be submitted to the electors as separate questions. The question of adopting a suboption shall be submitted to the electors in substantially the following form:
     Vote for one:
     A legal officer (who may be called the "county attorney"):
    [] Shall be elected for a term of 4 years.
    [] Shall be appointed for a term of 4 years by the chairman of the local governing body.
