Whenever a vacancy occurs in any state office, except in the case of resignation made to the Governor or the Legislature, the Secretary of State shall certify to the Governor the cause of such vacancy. If such vacancy occurs from the confirmed insanity of the incumbent, or from the incumbent's conviction of a felony or an offense involving a violation of the incumbent's official oath or bond, the Secretary of State shall accompany the certificate with a certified copy of a judgment found upon the lunacy commission, or a certified copy of the record of conviction for such felony or offense, as the case may be.
