office of profit, or trust, under this State, until he shall have
accounted for, and paid into the Treasury all sums on the
books thereof, charged to, and due by him.
1 SEC. 13. (a) In case of death, disqualification, resig-
nation, refusal to act, expulsion, or removal from the county
or city for which he shall have been elected, of any person
who shall have been chosen as a Delegate or Senator, or in
case of a tie between two or more such qualified persons,
the Governor shall appoint a person to fill such vacancy
from a person whose name shall be submitted to him in
writing, within thirty days after the occurrence of the
vacancy, by the State Central Committee of the political
party with which the Delegate or Senator, so vacating, had
been affiliated in the County or District from which he or
she was elected, provided that the appointee shall be of the
same political party as the person whose office is to be filled;
and it shall be the duty of the Governor to make said ap-
pointment within fifteen days after the submission thereof

party as the person whose office is to be filled, and who is
otherwise properly qualified to hold the office of Delegate or
Senator in the District or County. In the event there is no

fifteen days after the occurrence of such vacancy appoint

office of delegate or senator in such District or County.
In every case when any person is so appointed by the Gov-
ernor, his appointment shall be deemed to be for the un-
expired term of the person whose office has become vacant.

nor to fill a vacancy in a Senatorial district or subdistrict,
as the case may be, in any of the twenty-three counties of
Maryland, the State Central Committee or committees shall
follow these provisions:
(1) If the vacancy occurs in a district or subdistrict
having the same boundaries as a county, the State Central
Committee of the county shall submit the name of a resident
of the district or subdistrict.
(2) If the vacancy occurs in a district or subdistrict
which has boundaries comprising a portion of one county,
