§ 2-10. City council: Vacancies.

Latest version.

The city council, by majority vote of its remaining members, shall fill vacancies in its own membership, including the office of mayor, for any unexpired term.

If the city council fails to fill a vacancy in its membership within sixty days after the vacancy begins, then the mayor and councilors shall issue a proclamation calling a special election to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. The special election shall be held on the first date available for a special municipal election as determined by the official state election board calendar. There shall be no primary election for this purpose. The candidate receiving the greatest number of votes at the election shall be elected, and shall serve for the unexpired term. The provisions of this charter relating to regular elections shall govern such special elections insofar as they are applicable.
