any office for which they shall by law be qualified, the office shall be deemed to
be vacant. When a person who shall have been elected or appointed to any office as mentioned
in section 19:3-5 of this title shall, during the term for which he shall have been elected, or appointed,
be elected or appointed to another of such offices, and shall accept the same, such

elected or appointed; and he shall not be permitted to qualify or take such new office
until he shall have formally relinquished the office which he may have been holding. When a person shall, at an election, be elected to two or more of such offices, he
shall accept but one of the same, and the other or others shall be deemed vacant. When a person who shall be elected a member of the senate or general assembly of this
