§ 6-3. Resident and qualified elector.

For the office or member of town council, or any hereinafter elected office created, a candidate shall have resided in and been a qualified elector of the town for at least one hundred eighty-three (183) consecutive days immediately before the date in which the candidate qualifies to run for the office or member of the council or any other elected office hereinafter created. Every member of the town council shall be, continuously throughout his or her office, a resident and qualified elector of the town. Should any council member or the mayor move from the town, or, where applicable, the district they represent, during the term of office for which they were elected, then in that event that office shall automatically become vacant from the date of such removal. The mayor or any member of the council ceasing to possess any of the qualifications specified in this charter, or convicted of a felony while in office, or removed from office by recall election, shall immediately forfeit his office.
