## Text

205.041. Trustees, election, ballot — vacancies, how filled. — 1. Each candidate for the office of health center trustee shall file with the county election authority an announcement of candidacy in writing. The announcement shall indicate whether the individual is a candidate for a full or an unexpired term of a named predecessor. No filing fee shall be required to be paid upon the filing of any announcement. If announcements of a sufficient number of trustees are not filed, the county commission shall appoint such trustee or trustees as may be necessary to fill all vacancies on the board which result from the expiration of the term of any trustees and any such appointee shall serve until the next municipal election when a trustee shall be elected to fill the remainder of the unexpired term.

2. The ballots shall not contain any designation of the political party affiliation of any candidate for trustee. The ballots shall designate the number of trustees to be elected and shall state whether any of the trustees is to be elected for an unexpired term:

3. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes for the offices of trustee to be filled shall be declared elected by the county commission which shall issue commissions to the elected trustees.
