Ymir residents are being asked whether they’re willing to support the local cemetery with tax dollars.
A counterpetition process is expected to begin soon to raise $3,000 a year for maintenance.
Regional director Hans Cunningham says the cemetery dates back over a century but was neglected for decades.
If less than 10 per cent of voters sign their names against the idea a new regional district service will be created.
The money would support work that would largely be carried out by volunteers.
