§ 2-118. Committees; vacancies, how filled and effect of change of
boundaries. 1. In the case of the death, declination, enrollment in
another party, removal from the unit or removal from office of a member
of a committee, or the failure to nominate or elect a member, the
vacancy created thereby shall be filled by the remaining members of the
committee by the selection of an enrolled voter of the party qualified
for election from the unit of representation in which such vacancy shall
have occurred. When a state committee fills a vacancy pursuant to this
subdivision, the chairman or secretary of such committee shall, within
ten days after such vacancy is filled, file a certificate with the state
board of elections setting forth the name, address, and unit of
representation of the person so selected.
2. If the boundaries of any unit of representation be changed after
the election of members of a state committee or assembly district
leaders or associate assembly district leaders, the terms of members,
assembly district leaders or associate assembly district leaders elected
in such units of representation and the units of representation which
such members, assembly district leaders or associate assembly district
leaders represent shall continue until the next regularly scheduled
election for such party positions and until their successors are
elected.
3. The county committee, upon its organization after the election of
its members, or at any time thereafter, may determine that a vacancy or
vacancies in such committee exists by reason of an increase in the
number of election districts within the county occasioned by a change of
the boundaries of one or more election districts, taking effect after
such election, and may determine the districts that the elected members
shall represent until the next election at which members of such
committee are elected. A vacancy so determined to exist shall be filled
as provided in subdivision one.
