Three special elections were scheduled for the New York State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in New York State Assembly Districts 2, 53 and 86.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the New York Legislature, a special election must be held to fill the vacant seat. A special election can be held as long as the vacancy occurred before April 1 of the last year of the former officeholder's term. If a special session is called in the state legislature after this date, a special election may be called to fill the seat.[1] The person elected to fill the vacant seat serves for the remainder of the unexpired term.[2]
