Two special elections were scheduled for the Michigan State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill a vacancy in Michigan State Senate District 27 and Michigan House of Representatives District 49.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Michigan State Legislature, the governor must call for a special election to fill the vacancy or direct that the vacancy be filled at the next general election.[1][2]

If the vacancy happens after the statewide primary election, the party organizations in the district select the party's nominee. The nominee must be voted on no later than 21 days after the vacancy occurred and at least 10 days before the general election.[3]
