(1) If a casual vacancy in the office of a member of the Council elected pursuant to section 8D (1) (a), (b) or (c) or 8E (2) (a) of the Act occurs within the first 12 months of the term of that office, the Council is to appoint as a member of the Council the candidate, if any, who in the election immediately preceding the occurrence of the vacancy received the greatest number of votes of the candidates for that office who were not elected and who remain qualified to hold that office. The candidate holds office for the remainder of the term of office of the candidate’s predecessor.
