Across the nation, special elections are frequently conducted to fill vacancies in state legislatures. 27 states use special elections to fill legislative vacancies. In two states, Illinois and Indiana, special elections are used in limited circumstances. As of May 2013, 48 special elections (not including runoffs) have been scheduled in 20 states. Since these elections are intended to fill unexpected vacancies, more will be scheduled as new vacancies arise.

Doug LaMalfa (R) announced on August 31, 2012 that he would resign his District 4 seat in the California State Senate after the legislature concluded its 2012 session. LaMalfa, who ran for U.S. House of Representatives, decided to resign early so that a special primary could be consolidated with the 2012 general election. On September 5, 2012, Gov. Jerry Brown (D) announced the special election would take place January 8, 2013, with the primary on November 6, 2012.[1][2] Jim Nielsen (R) initially looked to have won the blanket primary outright, but final returns showed him just short of the 50 percent plus one necessary to avoid a general election.[3][4] Nielsen easily won the special election.[5]
