Show County vacancy to be appointed With the sudden death of Uintah County Commissioner Roland Merkley, a vacancy has taken place in the commission board. Merkley was the chairman of the commission. According to the outlined procedure given Monday, the Republican party Central Committee will nominate up to six names from which the two remaining commissioners will pick a person to fill the position held by Merkley, on a temporary basis until Jan. 1, 1983. When a vacancy occurs 35 days before a primary or general election, candidates or a candidate from each political party can be chosen to run for the vacated office. The time ruling has expired for the primary election, but candidates will be able to run in the general election to fill out the remaining two years left in Merkley's four year term. 'In Monday's commission meeting, Neal Domgaard was appointed chairman of the commission. Monday was the last courthouse registration day for the Sept. 14 primary election. Precinct registration days for the Primary election are Sept. 7, 8 and 9 in the election districts. |
