The two candidates, from separate townships, receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected for a term of four years, and the three candidates, from separate townships, receiving the next highest number of votes shall be elected for terms of two years. Thereafter, as the terms expire, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected for a term of four years, and the candidate receiving the next highest number of votes shall be elected for a term of two years. It is the intent of this act that only one commissioner shall be elected from a township.
