A quick lookup (article VI, Sectional 628) has me thinking that the next set of elections (primary, municipal, or general) will have to include the special elections, right? But that assumes that the presiding officer of the legislative branch filed the appropriate writs. Do we know if that happened? Last, and not least, there's a clause that says under certain conditions the presiding officer can just choose to not hold the special election if they deem it not in the public interest. Is that what's at stake here - republicans claiming legislation leadership and just cancelling the special elections entirely?
