Vacancies
If there is a vacancy in the Iowa General Assembly, the vacant seat must be filled by a special election. The governor of Iowa is required within five days of a vacancy in the General Assembly to call for a special election. If the vacancy happens in session, the governor must call for an election as soon as possible with a minimum 18-day notice. All other special elections require a 45-day notice as long the election does not happen on the same day of a school election.[2]

2016 pivot county
This district is one of 710 state legislative districts that intersects with one or more Pivot Counties. These 206 Pivot Counties voted for Donald Trump (R) in 2016 after voting for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012.
The 206 Pivot Counties are located in 34 states. Iowa, with 31, had the most such counties. The partisan makeup of state legislative districts intersecting with Pivot Counties is slightly more Republican than the overall partisan makeup of state legislatures throughout the country.[3]
Elections
2021
On January 26, 2021, Mary Stewart (D) and Adrian Dickey (R) faced off in a special election to fill the remaining two years of a four-year term in Iowa State Senate District 41. The seat became vacant after Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) resigned effective January 2, 2021, in order to be seated provisionally in the U.S. House of Representatives.[4][5]
The Iowa Democratic and Republican Parties nominated Stewart and Dickey at special district conventions. [6][7] The independent and third-party candidate filing deadline was January 12.[8] No other candidates filed to run.[9]
Stewart, a community college administrator, described herself as an "educator, a community activist and a leader."[10] Dickey, president of a transportation company, said he was a "[f]ather of two, volunteer firefighter, business owner, and lifelong resident of Packwood."[11]
In 2018, Miller-Meeks defeated Stewart 51.7% to 48.1% for the open seat. In 2014, incumbent Mark Chelgren (R) defeated Steve Siegel (D) by a margin of 1.8 percentage points.
Miller-Meeks was certified as the winner of the general election for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District on November 30, 2020, after a recount showed her defeating Rita Hart (D) by six votes.
The 41st District intersects with two retained pivot counties (counties that voted for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and Donald Trump (R) in 2016 and 2020): Jefferson County and Wapello County.
