Eight special election were scheduled for the Georgia State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in Georgia State Senate Districts 11, 14, 21 and 30, and Georgia House of Representatives Districts 21, 71, 100 and 104.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Georgia General Assembly, the vacant seat must be filled by a special election. If the vacancy occurs during a legislative session, the governor must declare a special election no later than 10 days after the vacancy happens. If the vacancy occurs after the regular legislative session held during the first year of the term of office for members, the governor may order a special election at any time but no later than 60 days before the November general election. If the vacancy occurs between 60 days before the November general election and the next legislative session, the governor is required to order a special election within 10 days.[1]

The special election must be held no less than 30 days and no later than 60 days after the governor calls for the election. The counties representing the vacant district are responsible for conducting the election.[1]
