In case any office of county commissioner shall
become vacant in any county by death, resignation or
otherwise, the Governor, if such vacancy shall occur
during the session of the Senate, shall, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, appoint, and if such
vacancy shall occur during the recess of the Senate, he
shall appoint a proper person or proper persons to fill
such vacancy or vacancies; and the nomination of the
person or persons thus appointed during such recess, or
of some other person in his or their place, shall be made
to the Senate within thirty days after the next meeting
of the legislature. The Governor shall nominate or
appoint the person to fill such vacancy whose name shall
be submitted to him in writing by the [State] central
committee of the political party with which the county
commissioner, so vacating, has been affiliated in the
particular county, provided that the nominee or 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 nomination or appointment within
fifteen days after the submission thereof to him. In
the event there is no [State] central committee in the
county in which the vacancy occurs, the Governor shall
appoint to fill the vacancy a person who has all the
qualifications required for the office of county
commissioner in the particular county. As to Allegany
County, if there is no resident Senator from Allegany
County in the Senate of Maryland at the time of the
appointment, it shall be by and with the advice and
consent of the House of Delegates of Maryland.
