which is a home rule unit under Section 6 of
Article VII of the Constitution by reason of having a population of more
than 25,000 suffers a loss in population so that its population

Unless such a referendum is held sooner, or such a referendum has been
held within the 2 calendar years preceding the year in which the population
is determined to be 25,000 or less, the municipal clerk
shall certify for submission to the voters of the municipality at the next general

provided by the general election law, the proposition of whether the municipality
shall elect
