PA Special Election Most Likely Will Be May 18

According to Chris Cillizza, the special election to fill the Rep. John Murtha’s House seat will most likely be May 18.

According to state law, the governor has ten days once the vacancy is officially declared to decide on the date for the special election, which can come no sooner than 60 days following that proclamation.That likely means the special election will be held on May 18, which is the date already set for federal primaries around the state. (Special elections costs the state huge sums of money and it’s likely that Gov. Ed Rendell will choose to go with an already established election day to save some cash.)

Special elections are quite costly. A good way to reduce the number of special elections is to set term limits. Isn’t it about time we stop electing politicians for life?
