Book excerpt: Where the legislature has required in K.S.A. 1979 Supp. 13-1221 that a person appointed to fill a vacancy on the Kansas City, Kansas Board of Public Utilities (BPU) "shall serve until the next city or state general election, whichever occurs first, at which time a successor shall be elected to serve the remainder of the unexpired term," there is an apparent legislative intent that any such election be conducted in the manner city elections are conducted, including the requirement that a primary election be held in connection therewith. However, where such election is held at the time of the general election in November, there also is an apparent legislative intent that such election to fill BPU vacancies be subject to the time frames applicable to such general election. Thus, all candidates for each of the BPU positions to be filled at the general election to be held in November 1980 must declare their respective candidacies on or before twelve o'clock noon on June 20, 1980, and if there are more than two candidates for any such position, a primary election shall be held at the time of the primary election to be held on the first Tuesday in August 1980.
