     On page 3, after line 5, insert the following:

     "NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  A new section is added to chapter 42.12 RCW to read as follows:

     (1) A county's share of the total vote which may be cast to fill a vacancy shall be the county's percentage of the district-wide vote for the office at the last election.  This percentage shall be determined by dividing the total number of votes cast in the county by the total number of votes cast within the district and rounding off to the nearest one percent.

     (2) A county's share of the total vote shall be divided equally among the members of the county legislative authority.  Each member shall be entitled to cast his or her vote portion in a district-wide selection process.  In this process, votes shall be counted district-wide by accumulating the total of all members' portions.

     (3) The person who receives a vote representing more than half of the total of all counties' voting percentages shall be appointed to fill the vacancy."

     Renumber the remaining section consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
