At the expiration of these two-year terms, their successors must be elected for terms of four years. Trustees elected by the qualified electors of the respective single-member districts must be elected in nonpartisan elections to be conducted at the same time as the general election in 1992 and beginning in 1995 in nonpartisan elections the second Tuesday in April and every two years thereafter for the terms expiring in that year.

Vacancies on the board must be filled at the next general election, or at a special election if the vacancy occurs more than one hundred eighty days before the next general election, at which time a successor must be elected in the same manner provided in this act for the unexpired term or for a full term as the case may be. If the vacancy occurs one hundred eighty days or less before the general election, the members of the legislative delegation representing the district shall fill the vacancy. All persons desiring to qualify as candidates and be elected to the board by the qualified electors shall file a nominating petition containing the signatures of not less than one hundred qualified electors of the district for which he offers as a candidate with the Dorchester County Election Commission at least sixty days before the date set for the election but not earlier than ninety days before the election.
