But it's not a vacancy. It's a concession from a Senator-elect. I think that's different.
In that case, the appointment of officepark was not in a vacancy, and so was illegal.

No. What you cited specifies Class B seats (at-large). The same article you cited says Class A seats (regional) are appointed by the Governor. And we have of course since passed an amendment giving regions more power over how they deal with their vacancies.
If a concession for a Class B Senator-elect does not constitute a vacancy, then a concession for a Class A Senator-elect does not constitute a vacancy either.

Or was your point that tmth conceded his seat, and that the Officepark appointment was illegal? Smiley
If concession =/= vacancy, then yes.
