In the event of a vacancy in any such position of employment in the classified service of the state, the personnel director, upon request of the Director of Transportation that the personnel director certify to him the names of persons eligible for appointment to the position, shall establish a county register of eligibles who are residents of the county in which the vacancy occurs, and the personnel director shall certify the names of persons appearing on the county register for appointment to the position.
