Except as hereinafter in this section provided, if a person holding an elective office in the Municipality shall be called into active military service during his or her elective term, his or her office shall be filled as provided by this Charter. The person filling such office may hold such office until the expiration of the elective term or until the person he or she replaced is able to resume such office, whichever shall first occur. In case of the death, resignation or removal of a substitute office holder, another substitute office holder shall be selected in accordance with the foregoing procedure. If, prior to the expiration of the elective term, an elected office holder who was called into active military service becomes able to resume his or her office, he or she shall be permitted to do so. Membership in the military reserve or State Militia shall not create a vacancy in office unless the office holder is called to full time military service for a period exceeding ninety (90) consecutive days.
