One special election was scheduled for the Tennessee State Legislature in 2013. This elections were called to fill a vacancy in the Tennessee House of Representatives District 91.

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]
