office of county elective officers shall be taken by the county commissioners
before the county recorders of their respective counties, on the second Monday
of January succeeding each general election, and on the same day the other

of the board. Provided, however, in the event of inability to appear for the
taking of the oath, for any reason, a duly elected county official may be
sworn in and may subscribe to the oath, wherever he may be, provided he appear
before an officer duly authorized to administer oaths, and provided further,
that any person who is in any branch of the armed forces of the United States
of America, may appear before any person qualified to administer oaths, as
prescribed in section 55-705 and may take and subscribe the oath of office as
provided for in section 59-401 of this title and chapter, and the oath of
office shall have the same force and effect as though it were taken before the
county commissioners as herein provided.
