When a state legislator leaves office, the Governor must now fill that seat by choosing from three candidates nominated by the former legislator's political party through county-level party committees in that district. The party committees have 30 days to submit their list (or just 5 days if the Legislature is in session), and the Governor then has 90 days to make the appointment (or 10 days if the Legislature is meeting).
