TUPELO â¢Â If Republican nominee Todd Jordan is elected Tupeloâs next mayor, then Lee County voters will face a special election to fill the District 3 seat on the Board of Supervisors.
Camille Roberts Dulaney, the Lee County circuit clerk, told the Daily Journal that if Jordan vacates his county office, then a special election will be held this upcoming November. The special election would be for the remainder of Jordan s term, which is up at the end of 2023.
But state law also allows supervisors to temporarily appoint someone to fill a vacancy until a special election.
So the potential vacancy still leaves an important question: If Jordan wins the mayor s race on June 8, who would, at least temporarily, fill his open seat on the county board until a special election could be conducted in November?
