Bylaw 3

C. Vacancies. Vacancies arising from death, resignation, or any other cause, shall be filled by the next highest eligible vote recipient from the list of candidates who ran for a seat on the State Central Committee and received a majority vote in the same Senate District at the previous County Organizing Convention. In the case of a tie, a coin toss will decide the one to whom the seat will be offered. If the list of candidates who received a majority vote has been exhausted, the vacancy will be filled by the County Executive Committee. Names for consideration shall include anyone who in writing prior to the next Executive Committee meeting indicates interest in serving, and nominations from any member of the Executive Committee. All nominees shall reside in the Senate District in which the vacancy occurs. The Executive Committee shall approve a replacement who shall fill the unexpired term. The selected person shall serve pending ratification by the County Central Committee at its next meeting.

D. De Facto Resignation. Upon any member of the State Central Committee missing three State Central Committee meetings per term for any reason, that member shall be considered to have resigned, and shall be replaced according to the provision above on filling vacancies.

Column D RRS (percentage): votes cast in district, divided by votes cast in county
Column E Number of the 22 seats that the district earned (RRS * 22)
Column F Whole number part of Column I (no rounding), seats per district (mpd)
Column G Remainder, after subtracting the integer part of the number (rem)
Column H Manual allocation of leftover seats to the next strongest districts (left)
Column J Total number of seats allocated to the district (spd + left = Seats)
Column K Same as column A, provided for ease of reference
Combining the three smallest/weakest districts helps to minimize the size of the caucuses, even though the three smallest districts may not be geographically adjacent to each other.
