Book excerpt: In a city of the second class with the commission manager form of government which is governed by K.S.A. 14-1305, a person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of commissioner holds office only until the "next city election," at which time someone shall be elected to fill the unexpired term if any portion of the term remains. Under Kansas case law, "next city election" is the next ensuing election at which city officers are elected. This conclusion is not altered even though a vacancy occurs after the filing deadline for a candidates seeking city office. The unexpired term should appear on the ballot of the next ensuing city election regardless of the fact no one was able to file as a candidate for the office according to the regular procedures governing the conduct of city elections.
