City clerks of cities of the first class having the mayor-council form of government
are elected for four-year terms. The city clerk's election in cities with a population
of less than fifty thousand (50,000) is in November, beginning in 1966, and held every
four years thereafter, meaning 1998, 2002, 2006, and so on.
In the mayor-council form of government the city council fills all vacancies among
officers of the city with the exception of cities over fifty thousand (50,000) in
population. Vacancies in cities of first class are governed by A.C.A. §§ 14-43-411
and 14-43-412. The state code also provides that if the office of city clerk shall
become vacant in a city of the first class before the expiration of the regular term,
the vacancy shall be filled by the city council until a successor is duly elected
and qualified. The successor shall be elected for the unexpired term at the first
annual election that occurs after the vacancy shall have happened.
