Whenever a vacancy occurs in any county office, except in cases of resignation, the clerk of the board of county commissioners of the county where such officer exercised the duties of his or her office, if confined to a single county, and if not thus confined, then the clerk of the board of county commissioners, where such officer last resided, previous to the occurring of such vacancy, shall certify to the board of county commissioners the cause of such vacancy. If such vacancy occurs from the confirmed insanity of the incumbent, or from his or her conviction of a felony, or an offense involving a violation of his or her official bond or oath, the clerk of the board of county commissioners shall also accompany his or her certificate with a certified copy of a judgment found upon the commission of lunacy, or a certified copy of the record of conviction for such felony or offense, as the case may be.
