The names of those found eligible upon examination, after giving credit for character and previous successful experience, shall be entered with their address and percentages on the eligible register.
No name shall remain upon the eligible register more than two years without a new application, and, if the rules of the commission so require, a new examination. When a vacancy has been filled or new appointment made, the names selected shall be stricken from the eligible register and transferred to the service register.
If the notice under subdivision 1, paragraph (b), is given at the time of initial examination, additional examinations may be administered to applicants meeting threshold requirements without an additional publication or ten-day notice. Applicants passing a later examination shall be added to the eligible register in the order of their standing relative to the remaining applicants on the register.
