Two special elections were scheduled for the Pennsylvania State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in Pennsylvania House of Representatives Districts 42 and 95.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, a special election must be held to fill the vacant seat. The presiding officer in the house where the vacancy happened must call for an election. There are no deadlines set in the state constitution on when a special election can be held.[1]
