In 2014, two seats were vacated and filled by special elections in the Pennsylvania State Legislature in 2014. The following districts had vacancies in 2014:

The seat was vacant following Dick Hess's (R) death on September 6, 2013.

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]
