Yes. Even If your rules prevent someone from holding two offices, it's probably wise to wait and see if you win the election before resigning your current office.

What you do is look in your bylaws for vacancy filling provisions, and follow those. If, for example, the board (if you have one) is given the power to fill mid-term vacancies, then that's who does it. There's nothing to prevent them from appointing the next highest vote-getter, but nothing to encourage them either. If your bylaws are silent, then you need to hold a new election for that office.
