Filling Empty Branch Seats
One Empty Branch Seat
Should one Branch Official seat be vacated, the Alternate will immediately fulfill the seat. The Alternate, as the new Branch Official, will take over the departing Branch Official’s term, but will be considered the junior member of the three in those situations where seniority is considered.
More Than One Empty Branch Seat
If more than one Branch Official seat is vacated, then the Alternate will immediately fulfill the most senior departing seat. The Alternate, in this roll, will take over this departing Branch Official's term AND will retain the seniority of that seat.
The remaining seat(s) will be filled using an Impromptu Branch Vote within that Branch using the Year 0 Rules to fill all open seats, including the selection of a new Alternate. Such a vote does not change the normal Election Cycle, rather those filling the empty seats will serve abbreviated terms.
Alternate Not Available
Should the Alternate not be available because they have already filled a Branch Official's seat or been removed through one of the available Removal Paths, then there will be an Impromptu Branch Vote within that Branch using the Year 0 Rules to fill all open seats, including the selection of a new Alternate. Such a vote does not change the normal voting cycle, rather those filling the empty seats will serve abbreviated terms.
