 In accordance with Chapter 3, Section 10 of the West Virginia Code, any further vacancies will be filled by interim justices appointed by Governor Justice.Barring any changes by the Legislature, these interim justices would likely serve until the primary election in May 2020, when a special election would be held.This became the case with Loughry's resignation, as on December 12, 2018, Justice appointed John A. Hutchison, a lifelong friend and circuit judge in Raleigh County, to Loughry's vacated seat.
