filed his written.resignation on June 9, 1980, which by its terms was effective
August 5, 1980, and the Governor filled the vacancy by appointment, how long

CONCLUSION
If a county supervisor, whose four-year term commenced in January 1979,
filed his written resignation on June 9, 1980, which by its terms was effective.
August 5; 1980, and the Governor filled the vacancy by appointment, the
appointee would hold office until the election and qualification of his successor.
A successor could have been elected at the November 4, 1980 general election
if the laws for independent nominations were followed. If no successor was so
elected and qualified, the appointee would hold office for the remainder of the
fouryear term.
