county board when providing for the reapportionment of its | 22 | | county under

| 15 | | without having been first elected to the board. Except in | 16 | | counties where
the chairman of the county board is elected by | 17 | | the voters of the county and

county | 21 | | board elected in the general election following | 22 | | reapportionment shall,
no later than 45 days after taking | 23 | | office, divide themselves publicly by lot as
