(1) This code applies to all general, primary, congressional vacancy, school district, special district, ballot issue, and other authorized elections unless otherwise provided by this code. This code applies to any municipal election conducted as part of a coordinated election except to the extent that this code conflicts with a specific charter provision. Any municipality may provide by ordinance or resolution that it will utilize the requirements and procedures of this code in lieu of the “Colorado Municipal Election Code of 1965”, article 10 of title 31, C.R.S., with respect to any election.
(2) For elections that must be coordinated pursuant to section 20 (3) (b) of article X of the Colorado constitution where the enabling legislation does not require that the electors be registered electors, the political subdivision may conduct its elections pursuant to the enabling legislation but it must assure that the notice required by part 9 of article 7 of this title is provided to the election official responsible for publishing the ballot issue notice.

The term “election” is not separately defined in this code. However, section 1-1-103 provides definitions for specific types of elections, such as: congressional vacancy election, coordinated election, general election, nonpartisan election, partisan election, primary election, special election, and special legislative election.

“This code” refers only to the “Uniform Election Code of 1992”, Articles 1 to 13 of Title 1. There are other election codes. For example, the “Colorado Local Government Election Code” is found at Article 13.5 of Title 1. The “Colorado Municipal Election Code of 1965” is found at sections 31-10-101 et seq. Also, there are many election provisions found outside of these election codes. For example, Article 40 of Title 1 governs Initiatives and Referenda. Thus, care must be exercised to be in the correct body of law for the type of election issue being researched.
