(1956) Provision authorizing contest of all elections is not self-executing and since there is no implementing legislation as to school bond issue elections, such may not be contested. Wann v. v. Reorganized School Dist. No. 6(Mo.), 293 S.W.2d 408.

(1958) Section 26(g), Art. VI, is not self-executing and does not authorize the adjudication of a school bond election contest. Eberle v. Plato Cons. School Dist. No. C-5 (Mo.), 313 S.W.2d 1.
