The regular election of irrigation districts must be held on the second Tuesday in February in each even-numbered year. The board of directors of an irrigation district may hold a regular or special election by mail ballot. If the board determines to hold an election by mail ballot, the board shall notify the electors of the district that the election will be held by mail ballot and that no polling places will be open for the election.
