After the election to organize the district and for the first directors, all other elections may be conducted under a system of voting by mail as may be provided in the bylaws of the district. The board of directors of any irrigation district may provide in the bylaws of the district for a system of voting by mail for resident and nonresident electors alike, in any election subsequent to the one to organize the district and for the election of the first set of directors. Such system shall afford a secret ballot and provide the general safeguards included in the absentee voting law relating to general state elections. It shall, however, be optional with the electors to return their ballots by ordinary mail or by registered or certified mail and either with or without special delivery postage.
