replacement process calls for the county board first to declare a vacancy. While the new board member must be a Republican, because that is Schultz’s party, notices of the vacancy are filed with both the Democratic and Republican Party chairs of Boone County.
Once all that is done, the county board chairman, Bob Walberg, has 60 days in which to recommend a replacement.
In a lottery drawing in December 2012, Schultz received a four-year term. Whoever is appointed to replace him will serve until the 2014 election. Petitions may be picked up starting this August and they have to be filed later in the fall. The primary election will be in March 2014, with the general election in November.
