17:12B-63. Director's election; vacancies
The directors shall be elected by the members of a mutual association or the stockholders of a capital stock association, as the case may be, by ballot at the annual meeting, for such term, not exceeding 3 years, as the bylaws provide. Where the term is more than 1 year, the bylaws shall establish terms of office so that an equal number of directors, so far as possible, shall be elected each year. A vacancy in the board may be filled by the board until the next annual meeting of the association, when it shall be filled by the members or stockholders of the association for the remainder of the unexpired term. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until his successor shall be chosen and qualified.
