that is to say, at any annual election the chairman for the
then ensuing year's term shall be from the county different
from the county from whence came the chairman for the
expiring year's term, and the same provision shall apply to
the office of vice-chairman; provided, however, that upon a
unanimous vote of the membership this provision may be
waived for one year, but not for two years in succession.
If a vacancy exists in the position of chairman or
vice-chairman, the commission shall promptly elect a new
chairman or vice-chairman for the remaining portion of the
one year term of such office. If the vacancy in the
position of chairman or vice-chairman involves or was
occasioned by that officer's resignation or removal for any
reason from membership on the commission, the election to
fill the unexpired portion of the chairman's or
vice-chairman's term, as the case may be, shall be held only
after the commission vacancy has been filled; provided,
however, the commission may elect an acting chairman or
vice-chairman to serve until the vacancy has been filled.
