PA Supreme Court orders House Speaker to schedule special elections for six vacant House seats on April 24.
On Feb. 29, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the Pennsylvania House Speaker to schedule special elections for six vacant House seats, including the 134th District seat vacated by Doug Reichley, on April 24 - the day of the already scheduled primary election. Rep. Sam Smith originally had until Feb. 24 to seek a special election for Reichley's seat to have the election happen during the April Pennsylvania primary. That deadline passed without Smith calling for a special election. With the Supreme Court decision, the election for Reichley's former seat, and the other open slots, will take place using the 2001 election maps.
