Editor's Note: This local law also provided
that it supersedes Town Law § 64(5). It was approved by
a majority vote of qualified voters at a mandatory referendum held
11-8-2005.
Provision shall be made for a special election
to fill a vacancy in an elective office such that whenever a vacancy
shall occur or exist in any elective Town office, such office shall
be filled at a special election held on a date designated by the Supervisor
which is not less than 60 days following such vacancy and not more
than 90 days following such vacancy.
If the vacancy occurs within 90 days of a general
election, the office shall remain vacant until filled at a special
election held on the same day as the general election.
The person elected to fill such vacancy shall
hold office for the remainder of the unexpired term of office, unless
such person is elected at the general election held to fill the next
term of such office, then such person shall serve the remainder of
the unexpired term and the following term.
