The last equalized county assessment role is conclusive evidence of ownership and of the value of the land so owned. Where land is owned in joint tenancy, tenancy in common, or any other multiple ownership, the owners of such land shall designate in writing which one of the owners shall be deemed the owner of such land for purposes of qualifying as a voter. The legal representative of a corporation or estate owning real property may vote on behalf of such corporation or estate.
