Occupiers of land representing a total of twenty-five or more votes lying within an area proposed to be organized into a district may file a petition with the department of land and natural resources asking that the district be organized. The department shall prescribe the form of the petitions, which shall state:

(1) The proposed name of the district, and
(2) A general description of the area proposed to be organized as a district.

Where more than one petition is filed covering parts of the same territory, the department may consolidate the petitions. The area of a district need not be contiguous but shall not include any of the area of any other district.
