Book excerpt: The election, appointment, and removal of officers of a third class city having a mayor/council form of government is subject to K.S.A. 15-201 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. unless the city charters out of these statutes under home rule powers. Under K.S.A. 15-209, an individual elected to the office of mayor of such a city must be a qualified elector of that city at the time of the election. The election of an individual who is not a qualified elector of the city is void, but the individual would have served as an officer d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲. The last individual who was elected and qualified to the office of mayor would continue to serve as mayor until a successor is elected and qualified. If the former mayor is unable to continue serving as mayor, a vacancy in that office occurs, and the president of the city council then fills the office of mayor until the next regular election for the office of mayor.
