Council shall at a regular or special meeting of Council at least fifteen days prior to the date on which the election shall be held appoint three election commissioners, two poll clerks and one alternate to conduct the election in each precinct in the City. The persons so appointed shall be notified of their appointment by the Recorder by mail which notice shall include a form for such person to return to the Recorder indicating whether they will serve or not. If any person fails to return such form within five days or declines to serve it shall be the duty of Council to promptly proceed to fill the vacancies. If any person appointed shall fail to appear at the voting place at the hour set for opening thereof, the remaining commissioner or commissioners shall elect another commissioner or clerk to act in their stead.
