(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.
