Vacant Seat (Appointment Process)
You may be appointed any time—not just during elections.
The Greater South East Area Commission will review your Election Application at its next regular meeting and vote on your appointment.
Appointed Commissioners serve until the end of the unexpired term they are appointed to, at which point the seat is up for re-election.
This ensures public input in all seats on the commission.
