Sec. 9-222. Filling of vacancy in office of first selectman or selectman. Petition for special

filled within thirty days after the day of its occurrence by the remaining members of the board of
selectmen. Said remaining members may appoint one of themselves to fill a vacancy in the office of first
selectman, if they so desire, and shall then fill the ensuing vacancy in the office of selectman as herein
provided. If such a vacancy in the office of first selectman or of selectman is not so filled within thirty
days after the day of its occurrence, the town clerk shall, within ten days thereafter, notify the elective
town officers enrolled in the same political party as the first selectman or selectman, as the case may be,
who vacated the office, or all elective town officers, if such first selectman or selectman who vacated
the office was not enrolled with a political party, and it shall be filled by such elective town officers
within sixty days after its occurrence. Any person so appointed shall serve for the portion of the term
remaining unexpired or until a special election called as hereinafter provided upon petition of a number
of electors of such town equal to five per cent of the names on the last-compileted registry list thereof,
but not fewer than fifty such electors. Such petition shall be filed no later than fifteen days after the
appointment by the remaining selectmen or such elective town officers, as the case may be. Such a
special election shall forthwith be called by the town clerk upon the filing of such a petition with him
and shall be held in accordance with the provisions of sections 9-164, 9-450 and 9-459. The term “town
officers”, as used in this section, shall not include state representatives or town officers who serve on
town boards whose members are not all elected at one town election for the same term.
