    When a verified petition of five voters of any county is 
 presented to a judge of the district court stating that the 
 probate judge of such county is insane and incapacitated to act 
 by reason of mental disability, such district judge shall 
 examine into such alleged insanity or mental disability in the 
 manner provided by law for examinations of insane persons by 
 probate judges.  If, upon the examination, such probate judge is 
 found to be insane or incapacitated to act by reason of mental 
 disability, the district judge shall certify such findings to 
 the governor, who shall thereupon declare the office of such 
 probate judge vacant and fill the same by appointment.
