It has cost Pennsylvania taxpayers more than $1 million since 2023 to run special elections replacing members of the legislature who left office early.
The article from WESA discusses the financial implications and logistical challenges of holding special elections in Pennsylvania in 2024. It highlights that the state's House of Representatives has been operating with a slim majority, necessitating special elections to fill vacancies. These elections come with significant costs, estimated at around $250,000 to $300,000 per election, covering expenses like poll workers, voting machines, and security. The article notes that these costs are particularly burdensome for counties, especially smaller ones, due to the need for additional resources and the potential for low voter turnout. Furthermore, the timing of these elections, often scheduled on off-cycle dates, adds to the complexity and expense. The piece also touches on the political dynamics, where control of the House could shift with each special election, influencing legislative priorities and the passage of bills.
