shall annually call an election in each district, to be held in the courthouse at the
county seat on some day in May designated by him. At this election the taxpayers of

commissioners. The county judge/executive shall preside at the election of each
district, which shall be by viva voce vote of each member present at the hour
designated by the county judge/executive. The districts of the county shall be
numbered by the county judge/executive, and the elections shall take place in the

county judge/executive shall appoint a taxpayer of that district as director to
represent the district. The county judge/executive shall fill all vacancies by
appointment. The call for election shall be made at least ten (10) days before the
election by posting notice at the courthouse door and by publication pursuant to

their number to act in place of the county judge/executive, with all the rights of the
county judge/executive under this section.
