If legislative leaders want to speed up the process of finding a replacement for Rep. Chris Stewart, they’ll most likely have to take action next week. But, several things have to happen first.
due to upcoming votes. Congress does not meet for the entire month of August.
Cox can also call a special legislative session to pick new dates for the primary and special elections. “We don’t know when Rep. Stewart is planning on leaving,” Schultz said. “As of this weekend, we hadn’t heard a timeline for his plans, but we can’t leave a seat in Congress empty for that long.”The most likely change, according to Schultz, is shortening the time frame for the special election process from a minimum of 180 days to 120 days.
Under that 60-day timeline, the primary election to replace Stewart could conceivably be held the same day as the August 15 municipal primary, with the special election on November 7. Scheduling the 2nd District election on those days would be the most economical move for the state.
