§ 37-7-136 — Election of commissioners; votes necessary to elect; filling of vacancies; qualifications and duties of commissioners elected

No person shall be elected as commissioner who shall not have
received a majority of all votes cast. No election shall be
invalid by reason of the fact that a majority of the assessed
valuation of real estate within the district was not represented
at such election. Whenever the office of any elected
commissioner shall become vacant by reason of death, resignation
or other cause, the vacancy shall be filled by the surviving
commissioners for the unexpired term. In case such vacancy is
not filled within thirty (30) days the court shall fill such
vacancy. All elected commissioners shall have the same
qualifications and duties as herein prescribed for appointed
commissioners.
