Two special elections were scheduled for the Florida State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in the Florida House of Representatives Districts 2 and 36.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Florida State Legislature, a special election must be called to fill the vacant seat.[1] The governor is responsible for calling the election and must consult with the secretary of state to set the election dates and nominating deadlines.[2] The person elected to fill the seat serves for the remainder of the unexpired term.[3]
