ANNOTATION
A director appointed to the board of a ground water management district pursuant to § 37-90-126 must stand for election at the district's next regular election. The ground water management law does not address the issue. Because the election code was intended to provide answers to election procedures not included in other statutes, this section controls. Deutsch v. Kalcevic, 140 P.3d 340 (Colo. App. 2006).
