In every other odd-numbered year (once every four years), hereinafter called Mayor Election Year, any qualified person may have his name placed on the ballot for the primary election as a candidate for Mayor by filing as described in Section 6-2 hereof, during the period defined as three days beginning not more than twenty days from the date the resolution calling the election is required by law to be filed with the County Election Board. The filing dates shall be established by the Council and set forth in the resolution calling the election. Any incumbent Councilmember whose term does not expire in the current calendar year shall resign his Council position prior to filing for Mayor. In the event a Councilmember whose term is not expiring in the current calendar year files for Mayor without resigning his Council position, then his Council position shall become vacant immediately upon his filing for Mayor.
