Sec. 485.
    A question submitted to the electors of this state or the electors of a subdivision of this state
 must be worded so that a "yes" vote will be a vote in favor of the subject matter of the
 proposal or issue and a "no" vote will be a vote against the subject matter of the proposal or
 issue. The question must be worded so as to apprise the voters of the subject matter of the
 proposal or issue, but need not be legally precise. The question must be clearly written using
 words that have a common everyday meaning to the general public. The language used must
 not create prejudice for or against the issue or proposal.
