"Whitmer Sets Dates for Special Elections to Fill Vacant Michigan House Seats"

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has scheduled special primary and general elections to fill two vacant seats in the Michigan House, resulting from the election of Democratic state representatives as mayors. The special primary will be held on January 30th for the 13th House District in Warren and Detroit, and the 25th House District in Westland and Wayne. The special general election for both seats will take place on April 16th. Candidates have until Monday to file their affidavits of identity, filing fee, or nominating petitions. The close proximity of the special primary to the presidential primary may lead to logistical challenges, as some residents may receive absentee ballots or applications for multiple elections.
