term of office

The bylaws state the election of officers is in June but prescribe no term of office

If no one runs for a particular office, does the member elected the previous June remain in office or is the office vacant?

The answer depends on how the bylaws are exactly worded regarding election of officers.

He remains in office.

The default rule is, no one is automatically ousted, where there is no fixed term of office.

Since your bylaws contain no fixed term of office, then the sitting officers sit until their successor is elected (or until the proper body suspends/expels the disciplined officer).

When no one is elected (where there is "no election"), the person sitting in that position continues to sit. There is no automatic loss-of-office just because no candidates/nominees were found.
