Eight special elections were scheduled for the California State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in California State Senate Districts 4, 16, 26, 32, and 40, and California State Assembly Districts 45, 52, 54 and 80.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the California State Legislature, the governor must call for a special election. The governor must call the election within 14 calendar days of the vacancy. No special election shall be held if the vacancy occurs after the nominating deadline has passed in the final year of the term of office.[1]
