FR Friend and political consulant Dave Gilliard provides this useful information to readers of the FR Blog:
The special will not be until April with the run-off (General) in June. Here is the likely calendar:
SPECIAL ELECTION CALENDAR
1. Gov. must call a SPECIAL GENERAL ELECTION within 14 days of vacancy. The window would be Nov. 26- to Dec.10.
2 IF the SPECIAL GENERAL ELECTION is called within 180 days of a statewide election, (after Dec. 8), it can be consolidated. It is likely the Gov. will do this in order to save money.
3. THE SPECIAL PRIMARY is eight Tuesdays before the SPECIAL GENERAL, or APRIL 11.
SO, the dates would be:
PRIMARY – April 11
RUN-OFF (GENERAL) – June 76
Note- this will be the same date as the Special Election in in Senate District 35 in Orange County.
Thanks, Dave!!
