If the death, or removal for the ballot of a qualified candidate for the office of City Commission member, including the position of Mayor, or Charter Review Board Member (“Vacancy or Vacancies” hereafter), occurs after the close of registration for candidates for this office, and if the death or removal leaves fewer than two candidates for the office before the election, the qualifying period for that office shall be reopened for a period of three days following the date the vacancy occurs. All qualified candidates registered during the period shall be placed on the ballot at the election along with the remaining candidate provided, however, if there is insufficient time to place the matter at the scheduled election, a special municipal election shall be called by the City Commission, which election shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures for conducting elections as provided by the laws of the state. The City Clerk shall promptly post notice at City Hall in a conspicuous place of the opening of registration.
