ANNOTATION
An appointed director must stand for election at the district's next regular election. This article does not address the issue but § 1-12-207 of the election code does. Because the election code was intended to provide answers to election procedures not included in other statutes, the election code provision controls. Deutsch v. Kalcevic, 140 P.3d 340 (Colo. App. 2006).
