While statewide primaries in Indiana and Ohio will grab most of the attention Tuesday, there are five legislative special elections on the calendar. These will fill four vacancies in the Michigan State House; the fifth is a runoff to fill an opening in the Georgia State House.
Georgia State House District 45 (Runoff)
Republicans hold a 102-76 edge over Democrats in the Georgia State House. There are two vacancies. Members serve two year terms; the next regular elections are in November. These will be contested using redistricted boundaries.
District 45 is located in Atlanta's northern suburbs. Republican Matt Dollar resigned in February to take another position. Dollar was unopposed when first elected in 2012 and didn't face a challenger until 2018. That year, he won by nearly 20% over his Democratic foe; that gap narrowed to 10 points in 2020.
