§ 2.04. Vacancies in council.

Where a vacancy in any place on the council, including that of mayor, shall occur, the vacant place shall be filled by a special election, and, where necessary, by a runoff election, in the same manner as provided in this Charter for the regular election of the councilperson. Such special election shall be held on the first authorized uniform election date following the creation of the vacancy occurring on or after the thirtieth day after the date the election is ordered. The runoff election, where necessary, shall be held in accordance with the requirements of the Election Code and all other applicable laws; provided, however, that where a vacancy shall occur within one hundred and twenty (120) days of a regular election, no special election to fill the vacancy shall be called, unless more than one vacancy occurs.
