Reply to comment by DeannaZone in Rep. Donald McEachin passes away at 61 after battle with colorectal cancer by iNEEDcrazypills

Gov Youngkin has to call for a special election for that seat. So now we wait.

Youngkin? This is my seat, I fully expect not to have representation until I move or 2024 hits.

Likely the week of Christmas they may do it, we will see, I have been studying the elections website for Virginia once a week for any update on things, and I happened to find out about the Rep passing.

Ah okay, thank you, my dad who is in that area says that it will have to be before January since that is when the swear in will be. I am surprised there is nothing already set in place for sudden loss like this, like a time frame of " ICE - In Case of Emergency the 2nd Tuesday of December will be the special election"
