Editing Ohio General Assembly (section)

== Vacancies ==
The Ohio House and Ohio Senate use slightly different methods to fill vacant seats. In both chambers, a replacement is first elected by the members of the relevant chamber who are affiliated with the same party as the departing member. In the House, the replacement will serve for the remainder of the term. In the Senate, the replacement will serve for the remainder of the term only if the vacancy occurred after the first 20 months of the four-year Senate term. If the vacancy occurred during the first 20 months of the term, then a special election will be held during the next regularly-scheduled even-year statewide election. The replacement selected by the party members will then serve until the end of December following the special election, with the winner serving the remainder of the term.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Ohio Legislature|url=https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/laws/ohio-constitution/section?const=2.11|access-date=2020-12-06|website=www.legislature.ohio.gov}}</ref>
