| Commissioner Austin Shaver (R) |
The relevant portion of TCA 5-1-104 states:
(2) .......If the vacancy occurs less than sixty (60) days before the August election but sixty (60) days or more before the November election, then nominees of political parties shall be selected by party convention and a successor elected in the November election.
Therefore the commission will have 120 days from the time of notification to appoint an interim commissioner to fill the remaining term. The other option since it is so close to the General Election in November, commission wont be required to appoint an interim commissioner and allow the voters to choose in the November General Election.
Futhermore, Commission Shaver must resign effect no later that June 3rd in order to let people of the Republican Party choose his successor.
