If there is the resignation in the office of the state president, the state first vice president will become the state president.
If there is a vacancy in one of the state officer positions after elections are held at the State Leadership Conference, the vacant position may be filled at the discretion of the State Committee prior to the National Leadership Conference based on the guidelines identified in the bylaws. In all instances, the State Committee should consider as a first option the student who received the next highest number of votes in the elections at the State Leadership Conference. The State Committee also has the discretion, if deemed critical, to fill a vacancy after the National Leadership Conference.
