Sec. 2-13. Vacancies in office of mayor or councilman.[19]

Whenever, from any cause, a vacancy shall occur in the office
of mayor, it shall be filled by the city council. A vacancy
in the office of councilman shall be filled by the city council at
its next regular meeting, from the qualified electors of the city.
The officer thus elected shall hold office for the term for which
his predecessor was elected, unless sooner vacated by death,
resignation, removal or from other causes. An entry of such
election shall be made in the journal. If the mayor or a councilman
shall remove his residence from the city limits, such
removal shall operate to vacate his office. (Code 1959, § 2-13.)
