A vacancy in the office would be filled | | by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Legislature, but | | only until the next general election. If the next general | | election is not one at which the office was scheduled to be | | filled, then an election must be held to fill the vacancy for the | | balance of the regular 4-year term. |
