(e) If the lieutenant governor determines the number of the House district in which a particular person resides, the lieutenant governor shall send a letter identifying that district by number to: (i) the person; (ii) the affected party who filed the petition, if different than the person whose House district number was identified; and (iii) the county clerk of the affected county.
