    " Sec. 5.5. (a) Pari-mutuel pull tabs may not be sold at a facility described in section 5 of this chapter unless the voters of the county in which the facility is located have approved the sale of pari-mutuel pull tabs.
    (b) If at least the number of the registered voters of the county required under IC 3-8-6-3 for a petition to place a candidate on the ballot sign a petition submitted to the clerk of the circuit court requesting that a local public question concerning the sale of pari-mutuel pull tabs be placed on the ballot, the county election board shall place the following question on the ballot in the county during the next primary or general election or a special election held under this section:
