DAVISON, Justice:
This is an original action in this court wherein the City of Elk City seeks a Writ of Mandamus directing the Mayor of the City to issue a proclamation as to the result of a City election held pursuant to Art. 10, § 35, of the Oklahoma Constitution.
We accept original jurisdiction of the action because of the public importance of the matter and the need for an early determination of the question.
Art. 10, § 35, of the Oklahoma Constitution provides that any incorporated town and any county may issue, by and with the consent of the majority of the “qualified taxpaying voters”…
