Cumberland County Commission Votes to Leave Nancy Hyder’s Seat Vacant Until August Election

Cumberland County Commissioners have chosen not to appoint a temporary replacement for the late Nancy Hyder’s  2^nd District Commission seat.  The vacancy will remain until it is filled by voters in the August election.  According to County Mayor Allen Foster, since Commissioner Hyder was on the ballot, state law requires this to be a write-in ballot for election.  Information regarding write-in candidacy for the August election is available through the Election Commission.
