What to know about Pennsylvania's 2026 special elections
Following resignations in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, five seats in the chamber will be up for grabs in special elections scheduled over the next several months.
The resignations came after several lawmakers won elections for local office in November, and another resigned amid conflict of interest complaints. The lawmakers who have since departed the chamber are former state Reps. Torren Ecker, Dan Miller, Lou Schmitt and Josh Siegel and Seth Grove.
Dates for all of the special elections are set after House Speaker Joanna McClinton signed writs of election to fill the now-vacant seats.
