The provisions of this title shall apply to all elections for any elected office or electoral choice within the state or any political subdivision. The provisions of this title shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of law, including any other state law or local law; provided, however, that school districts and libraries shall continue to conduct their elections under the education law, subject to and not inconsistent with the provisions of this title, to ensure voters of race, color, and language-minority groups have equitable access to fully participate in the electoral process.
