Special elections to the United States House of Representatives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an incomplete list of special elections to the United States House of Representatives. Such elections are called by state governors to fill the vacancies that occur when a member of the House of Representatives dies or resigns before the biennial general election. Winners of these elections serve the remainder of the term and are usually candidates in the next general election for their districts.

The general elections are held in November of even numbered years, and new Congresses first meet on January 3 of the following year (about two months after the election).
