Three special elections for the New Jersey State Legislature took place in 2012. These elections were called to fill vacancies in the New Jersey General Assembly, Districts 4, 16, 26. In New Jersey, interim members are appointed by local party officials to serve until a special election is held.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the New Jersey State Legislature, the vacancy will be filled by an interim appointment by the county leadership of the political party that holds the seat. The office will be on the ballot in the next general election, unless the vacancy occurs within 51 days of the election. If that is the case, the appointment would stand until the following general election.[1][2]
