    Sec. 3-3. Whenever the annexation of other districts or additional territory to any park district requires a referendum under the provisions of this Article, the referendum shall be conducted in the manner provided by the general election law in the territory or district proposed to be annexed and in the park district to which annexation is proposed, (provided, that if there are no legal voters residing within the territory proposed to be annexed no election need be held in such territory; but the election shall be ordered to be held only in the park district to which annexation is proposed) the court shall certify the proposition to the proper election officials who shall submit the proposition at an election in accordance with the general election law. The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:
        Shall (name of park district) annex (description of
    
the territory or name of the district) for park purposes?
    The circuit judge shall cause a statement of the result of the election to be entered of record in the circuit court, a certified copy of which statement shall be filed by the board of the district in the records of the district, and recorded in the offices of the county clerk and recorder of each county in which the district lies.
    If a majority of the votes cast upon that question at such election in the territory proposed to be annexed shall be for annexation, or if no votes whatever are cast for or against the question at such election in the territory proposed to be annexed, or if no election is held in such territory because there are no legal voters residing therein, and, also, if a majority of the votes cast upon the question in the annexing district shall be for annexation, then the adjoining territory shall thenceforth be a part of such district.
    Upon annexation, whether by petition or referendum, all the taxable property in the territory or in the district annexed shall be subject to all of the tax rates of the annexing district.
