There's a special election in California's 20th, a solidly-red district encompassing parts of Kern, Tulare, Kings and Fresno counties, because former Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, retired from Congress on Dec. 31, 2023.But the two-year House term does not end until January 2025.
Since the election is for thisabbreviatedterm, the winner will be sworn into the House of Representatives almost immediately. If a candidate gets a majority of the votes on March 19, they win outright and become the next representative swiftly. If not, the top two vote-getters regardless of party advance to a May 21 run-off, where voters will choose candidates again. Whoever wins then will be sworn in almost immediately.
