North Carolina's 12th congressional district special election, 2014

A special election for the United States House of Representatives in North Carolina's 12th congressional district will be held on November 4, 2014 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mel Watt.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory chose to hold the election concurrently with the regular 2014 general elections, rather than hold a separate special election at an earlier date to fill the vacancy. Party primary elections for the seat would be held May 6. Primary runoffs, if needed, were scheduled for July 15 but proved unnecessary, because the only primary winner won more than 40 percent of the vote. According to Gerry Cohen, the primary was the first special primary election in North Carolina history, because in previous special elections, committees or conventions of party leaders selected their nominees.〔(Charlotte Observer: Special House election for Watt seat to overlap regular schedule )〕
The winner of the special election would serve through the remaining months of the 113th Congress, while the winner of the regular general election being held the same day would serve in the 114th Congress. 〔(WRAL.com )〕 This is essentially the same procedure used in North Carolina in 1992 to fill the vacancy in the First Congressional District (other than the addition of a primary election). Because Watt resigned in January and the winner of the special election will not be seated until after the November election result is official, the district will be without a representative for more than 11 months.
==Background==
Democratic Congressman Mel Watt was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 10, 2013, to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency. He resigned from Congress on January 6, 2014, the day he took office as director of FHFA.〔(Charlotte Observer: Mel Watt to resign from Congress Jan. 6 )〕
