In 2011, three special elections were held for the Tennessee General Assembly. These elections were called to fill vacancies in the Tennessee State Senate, Districts 6 and 18, and the Tennessee House of Representatives, District 98.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Tennessee General Assembly, there are two ways a vacancy can be filled. When twelve months or more remain before the next general election, a special election must be held within the allowable time frame set by law. If fewer than twelve months remain before the next general election, members of the legislative body in the county where the vacancy occurred must vote on a replacement.[1]
