So you're arguing "selected to fill a vacancy in a term" would exclude
cases where someone is elected to fill an incomplete term.

That sounds like a reasonable interpretation but it's not an obvious
one, and I believe I have precedent on my side here: this has actually
happened and been debated before. I don't have time to look it up now,
but feel free to do the research, I might of course misremember.
