Elections and the Electoral College

Question 8 • FL-2106020-M/J Civics Advanced Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Which of the following situations might require voters to hold a special election?

Answer
A
A citizen announces that he or she is interested in running for office.
B
A regularly scheduled election day is approaching.
C
A state governor resigns from office partway through his or her term.
D
A president reaches the end of his or her term.

Explanation

A special election may be held to fill an office that becomes vacant before the term ends. If a governor resigns partway through the term, voters may need to choose someone to serve the remainder; a regularly scheduled election or the end of a president’s term does not by itself require a special election.
