If Commissioners Curtiss
and Rowley are unable to elect an appointee from the initial submitted list,
they shall request a second list of three names from the central committee.

filing fees are exempt from this process.
·
The appointed official
must file their candidacy for the 2016 primary
election if they wish to remain in
office and be elected to a full term. He or she must win the majority of the
vote.
