3-8-1-5.7. Requirements of Candidates for Appointment Pro Tempore

Sec. 5.7. (a) Except as expressly provided by law, a candidate for selection under IC 3-13-5 or IC 3-13-11 for an appointment pro tempore to an office must comply with the requirements imposed under this chapter on a candidate for election to the office. For purposes of determining whether a candidate for an appointment pro tempore complies with a requirement imposed under this chapter on a candidate for election to the office, the term "before the election" is considered to read as:
(1) "before the date of the caucus that is required to fill the vacant office"; or
(2) "before the date that the county political party chairman appoints an individual to fill the vacant office";
whichever is the case.
(b) If a town council member:
(1) was elected or selected as a candidate from a town council district; and
(2) served on a council that subsequently adopted an ordinance under IC 36-5-2-4.1 abolishing town council districts;
a candidate for selection for an appointment pro tempore to succeed the town council member is not required to reside within the district formerly represented by the town council member.
