§ 24.2-227. Interim appointment by court until vacancy filled by election for certain offices
When a vacancy occurs in any local elected office other than a constitutional
office, local governing body, or an elected school board, a majority of the
judges of the judicial circuit for the county or city in which it occurs
shall make an interim appointment to the office until the vacancy can be
filled by special election. The senior judge shall make the appointment if a
majority of the judges cannot agree. The chief or senior deputy, if there is
one in the office, shall perform all the duties of the office until the
person appointed to fill the vacancy has qualified. The person so appointed
shall hold office until the qualified voters fill the vacancy by election and
the person so elected has qualified.
