general elections, including the payment of expenses of conducting the recall
election, shall govern special recall elections except where otherwise
provided for.
    (2)  Whenever a special recall election is ordered, notice must be issued
and posted in the same manner as for a general election.

recall election must be in favor of such recall, and additionally, the number
of votes cast in favor of the recall must equal or exceed the votes cast at
the last general election for that officer. If the officer was appointed or
was not required to stand for election, then a majority of the votes cast in
the recall election shall be the number necessary for recall.
    (4)  If recalled, an officer shall be recalled as of the time when the
results of the special recall election are proclaimed, and a vacancy in the
office shall exist.
    (5)  If an officer is recalled from his office the vacancy shall be filled
in the manner provided by law for filling a vacancy in that office arising
from any other cause.
