A note on seats with different terms: When a seat isn’t filled by election, or when someone vacates their seat before the end of their term, the other members of their body work together to appoint someone to fill the seat until the next election. If there’s any time left on the seat at that point, it seat becomes open again and if the appointee wants to continue in their role, they must run again.
