The results of the recall election shall be canvassed by the City Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Election Code. If a majority of the votes cast at a recall election shall be against removal of the Commissioner or Mayor named on the ballot, such Commissioner or Mayor shall continue in office for the remainder of such Commissioner’s or Mayor’s unexpired term, subject to recall, as hereinafter provided. If a majority of the votes cast at such election be for the removal of the Commissioner or Mayor named on the ballot, the Commission shall immediately order an election to be held for the purpose of filing the vacancy. Such an election shall be ordered consistent with the provisions of the Texas Election Code, provided, however, that it shall not be held later than the 78th day after the results of the recall election are canvassed.
