(B) Beginning with the election of 2002, the seats for trustees of Richland-Lexington School District 5 must be numbered as follows with each candidate running for a particular seat:
(1) the seats presently held by trustees residing in Lexington County whose terms expire in 2004 are seats 1, 2, and 3, respectively;
