Publication on the same day of each week is sufficient whether or not a daily newspaper is used for the publication.D. Except as otherwise expressly provided, the election shall be called and held and the results canvassed in the manner provided by the laws of this state for holding elections on the issuance of bonds by counties for general county purposes.
