Summary

Vacancies in elected offices; terms of office; special elections. Prohibits a special election to fill a vacancy in an office from being held on the same day as the general election at which that office is regularly scheduled to be filled. The bill further prohibits an election to fill a vacancy in the representation of the Commonwealth in the United States Congress from being ordered or held if the general or special election at which it is to be called is scheduled within 75 days of the end of the term of the office to be filled. The bill provides that the term of office of any person who is elected at a general election to an office that is vacant at the time of the election shall begin when the person so elected has qualified and taken the oath of office.
