Four special elections were scheduled for the Kentucky State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in the Kentucky State Senate District 13 and Kentucky House of Representatives Districts 7, 52 and 56.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Kentucky General Assembly, a special election must be held to fill the vacant seat. The governor must call for an election if the General Assembly is not in session. The presiding officer in the house where the vacancy happened must call for an election if lawmakers are in session.[1] All nominating petitions must be filed at least 56 days before the election.[2]
