The duration of an electoral cycle is 3 years.

If this is changed via an amendment to these Bylaws, then the terms of incumbents are recalculated using the new duration.

Note that the terms of different officers may start at different times; they do not have to be synchronized. For example, a Judge may be appointed at the beginning of year 1, and then in the middle of year 2 an Elect Board election may be called; the Judge's term is a certain number of electoral cycles, starting in year 1, and the maximum time until the next Elect Board election is one electoral cycle, starting in year 2.
