Whenever under any statute a special election is required or authorized to be held in any

within which such election shall be called, or the notice which shall be given thereof, the
governing authorities of the municipality shall, by resolution, fix a date upon which such election
shall be held. Such date shall not be less than twenty-one (21) nor more than thirty (30) days
after the date upon which such resolution is adopted, and not less than three (3) weeks' notice of
such election shall be given by the clerk by a notice published in a newspaper published in the
municipality once each week for three (3) weeks next preceding the date of such election, and by

however, shall be applicable to elections on the question of the issuance of the bonds of a
municipality or to general or primary elections for the election of municipal officers.
