Wayne Demikoff was an at-large member of the Clifton School Board in New Jersey. He first served on the board following appointment to the chamber in 1988 until 2001. He later rejoined the board in 2010 and won re-election on November 5, 2013. He resigned from the position a year later in December 2014.

Whether Demikoff resigned or was removed from the board was a point of contention following a dispute about his residence within the district. He had a lease agreement to rent living space from an in-law in Clifton before selling his home in the district in October 2014. He had purchased a residence in East Hanover in August that year.[1]

The method of Deimkoff's departure from the board—removal or resignation—determined how the vacancy on the board could be filled. It was determined that Demikoff had been disqualified from office by his move, making his resignation moot. Therfore, the vacancy was filled by an appointment of the county superintendent who selected Michael Evans for the position.[2] If it had been determined that his resignation took precedent, the vacancy would have been filled by an appointment of the remaining board members.[1]
