Filling empty county commissioner seats

When a county commissioner seat is vacant, members of the county convention from that district pick a replacement by majority vote. The appointee serves until the next biennial county officers election. If time remains in the original term after that election, the seat appears on that ballot for a 2-year term so voters choose who finishes it. The same rule applies in every county district, with no special exceptions. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
