1.  A vacancy occurring in a nomination for
a city office before 5 p.m. of the fourth Friday in July of the year in which
the general city election is held must be filled by the person who received the
next highest vote for the nomination in the primary city election if a primary
city election was held for that city office. If no primary city election was
held for that city office or if there was not more than one person who was
seeking the nomination in the primary city election, a person may become a candidate
for the city office at the general city election if the person files a
declaration of candidacy with the appropriate filing officer and pays the
filing fee established by the governing body of the city before 5 p.m. on the
fourth Friday in July.

2.  No change may be made on the ballot for
the general city election after 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in July of the year
in which the general city election is held. If, after that time and date:

(a) A nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or
mentally incompetent; or

(b) A vacancy in the nomination is otherwise
created,

Ê the
nominee’s name must remain on the ballot for the general city election and, if
elected, a vacancy exists.
