Sec. 1-5016. Effect of majority and three-fifths vote. When the attempt is made by such an election to remove a county seat to a point nearer to the center of such county than the county seat then is, and a majority of the legal voters of said county entitled to vote on the question of removal shall be "for removal," the county seat is thereby removed to the point named in the petition. When the attempt is made by such an election to remove a county seat to a point not nearer to the center than the county seat then is, and three-fifths of the legal voters of said county entitled to vote on the question shall be "for removal," then said county seat of said county is thereby removed to the point named in the petition.
