What do they call the positions that no one ran for? There is a specific term for it similar to the common usage of "uncontested" for the positions in which only one person runs.

Thanks but I'm referring to the elected positions that go unfilled because no one ran.

Nope, uncontested is when only one person runs.

Vacant?
I actually heard of a position that recently went unfilled, not because no one ran, but because no one voted. The only candidate on the ballot forgot to vote for himself.
