The provisions of this act shall not become operative in any county of the state to which it may apply unless and until it is submitted to a vote of the qualified electors voting thereon at the next general election after the passage of this act or after any such county shall reach a population of 500,000 or over. Like notice of the submission of the adoption of the provisions of this act shall be given as is required by law in the case of elections to elect county officers, and such question shall be submitted in substantially the following form:
