Any election submitting the proposition of incurring indebtedness and the issuance of bonds called pursuant to this part, may be held separately, or may be consolidated with any other election authorized by law, at which the qualified voters of any county, city and county, or city are entitled to vote. However, in the event an election called pursuant to this part is consolidated with any other election, as provided by Part 3 (commencing with Section 10400) of Division 10 of the Elections Code, the provisions of this part setting forth the procedure for the calling of the election called pursuant to this part shall be complied with, except that the resolution calling the election need not set forth the election precincts or polling places, or the officers of election, which shall be the same as those set forth in the ordinance, order, resolution, notice, or other proceeding calling or providing for, or listing or designating the precincts, polling places, and election officers for the election with which the election called pursuant to this part is consolidated, and shall refer to the election or to the ordinance, order, resolution, notice, or other proceeding calling, providing for, or giving notice of the election, and which sets forth the precincts, polling places, and election officers. This reference may be made by giving the number or title or date of adoption of the ordinance, resolution, or order or to the date or proposed date of any publication of the notice and the name of the newspaper or proposed newspaper in which the notice has been or will be published or by any other definite description. Whenever a bond election called pursuant to this part is consolidated with a statewide general election held in the district, references to that general election shall be sufficient for all purposes of this part.
