Nine special elections were scheduled for the Mississippi State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in Mississippi State Senate Districts 16 and 28, and Mississippi House of Representatives Districts 5, 11, 36, 55, 59, 96 and 110.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Mississippi State Legislature, a special election is required to fill the vacant seat. The governor must call for an election no later than 30 days after the vacancy happened. After the governor sets the election date, the counties conducting the election must be given at least 60 days' notice before the election. All qualifying deadlines are 50 days before the election.[1]

The governor can choose not to issue a writ of election if the vacancy occurs in the same calendar year as the general election for state officials.[1]
