§ 43:17-16.
If any of the aforesaid elections are not held at the time or times hereinbefore provided,
they shall be held thereafter as soon as may be convenient. The failure shall not work a forfeiture or dissolution of the corporation, nor shall
the election be ineffective because of any delay in holding it. The president and secretary of the corporation shall, in case of failure to hold
an election at the time hereinbefore provided, forthwith give reasonable notice of
a time and place for the holding thereof. If they fail to give the notice, or on failure to comply therewith, any vacancy
caused thereby shall be filled as hereinafter provided. Any dereliction on the part of any representative or officer, in the performance
of any known duty in connection with the holding of or failure to hold an election,
shall be deemed a malfeasance in office and be punished accordingly. If a person is elected to an office at any other than the usual time for the election,
he shall hold office only until the time for the next regular election and until his
successor is elected.
