Provides that, if there are 28 months or less remaining in the term of a township officer at the time of the vacancy or failure to qualify, an appointed officer shall serve for the remainder of the term. Provides that, if there are more than 28 months remaining in the term at the time of the vacancy or failure to qualify, the office shall be filled by a special election to be held at the next general election and the appointed officer shall serve until the election results are certified and the person elected at the special election is qualified (rather than a person appointed shall hold office for the remainder of the unexpired term).
