Speaker Announces Special Election for the 113th District

Speaker of the House Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) today ordered a special election to coincide with Pennsylvania’s municipal general election on Nov. 2, 2021, to fill the vacant seat in the 113^th Legislative District in Lackawanna County.

The seat was vacated when Rep. Marty Flynn (D-Lackawanna) was elected to the Pennsylvania Senate.

House rules state the speaker shall issue a writ for a special election to be held on a date which shall occur on or before the date of the first municipal election which occurs not less than 60 days after the issuance of the writ.

Candidates for the office will be selected by a process designated by their respective political parties, and the winner of the special election will take office after the results are confirmed.
