If the number of candidates receiving a majority vote of County Board members present exceeds the number of positions to be filled, any person not receiving a majority vote shall be dropped from the ballot. The Clerk shall again call the roll with only those receiving a majority vote remaining on the ballot. The person receiving the lowest number of votes shall be dropped from the ballot each succeeding ballot until the number of candidates receiving a majority vote equals the number of positions to be filled.
