Term limitations (or a rotating duty schedule) isn't the same thing as removal from office. If a man rotates off of active duty as an elder or deacon, he retains his office. He's just relieved of his duties (and vote) for that time period, until he rotates back on. He does not have to be re-elected, as his ordination is perpetual (as is his installation, as long as he stays at that church).
