§ 7229 Candidate Death Election Vacancy

• •If someone running for a committee dies before or on election day, but they still get enough votes to win, it creates an empty spot on the committee.
• •The committee itself will fill this empty spot the same way they fill other empty spots.
• •This rule is for county central committees.

Imagine someone named John is running for a spot on the county central committee. Sadly, John dies the day before the election. Even though he died, people still vote for him, and he gets enough votes to win. But since he can't take the spot, there's now an empty spot on the committee.

The committee will fill this empty spot the same way they fill other empty spots. They won't leave it empty just because John died.
