A. After an election has been ordered pursuant to section 1-21-5 or 1-21-6 of this chapter, the town council shall promptly fix a ballot title for each initiative or referendum.

B. The town council may, without receipt of any petition, submit any proposed or adopted ordinance or any question to a vote of the registered electors of the town. The town council shall fix a ballot title for the referred measure.

C. In fixing the ballot title, the town council shall consider the public confusion that might be caused by misleading titles and shall, whenever practicable, avoid titles for which the general understanding of the effect of a "yes" or "no" vote would be unclear. The ballot title shall not conflict with those titles selected for any other measure that will appear on the municipal ballot in the same election. The ballot title shall correctly and fairly express the true intent and meaning of the measure.

D. Any registered elector may file a protest concerning a ballot title by filing a written protest with the town clerk within five (5) days after the ballot title has been set by the town council. No protest shall be considered that is not received by the town clerk within such five (5) day period. The protest shall describe with particularity the basis for the protest. The town council shall hear and determine the protest at its next regular meeting after the protest is filed. The protesting party shall be forthwith notified of the town council's determination of the protest. The town council's determination of a protest may be reviewed by the Summit County, Colorado district court upon application of the registered elector who filed the protest, but such review shall be had and determined forthwith.
