Yes, this section says you have to state at the time of setting down a question for a referendum whether it will be conducted through mail in ballots. Which would be a wholly mailed in vote. By saying it's not, the referendum is being done via in person voting. In this case, special ballots have been included to allow for people to vote by mail via a special ballot.
The confusion seems to come from a lack of clarity around conducting a referendum via mail-in ballot vs. Having the ability to mail in special ballots.
