It's not a statute yet.  It's proposed statutory language in a bill that is still in the legislature.
Perhaps Richard could get in touch with the legislature and suggest that the word "calendar" be removed from "calendar year" to remove the ambiguity.  - dah

That would not be a "general" election contemplated by the statute framers, on which the nominees of parties appear with their party affiliations indicated, and there are nomination primaries or conventions at which cross-over or nonaffiliate participation is to be excluded. A special election in January would almost necessarily have to be nonpartisan, since there would not be time for parties to conduct a nomination process.
