ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. Since § 23-30-103 is similar to § 23-30-103 as it existed prior to the 2007 amendment to articles 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 55 of title 23, which resulted in the relocation of provisions, a relevant case construing that provision has been included in the annotations to this section.
Vacancies may only be filled where a majority of board members are present. An election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of a member of the board is void where, at the meeting which assumes to elect the replacement, there is not a majority of the members present at the meeting as required by this section. There was therefore, no valid election. Benson v. People ex rel. McClelland, 10 Colo. App. 175, 50 P. 212 (1897).
