After the death of longtime Macomb County Treasurer Ted Wahby in December 2015,[7] one-term state Rep. Derek Miller was appointed treasurer [8] and resigned his House seat effective February 1, 2016.[9] On February 17, 2016, Gov. Rick Snyder called a special election to fill the remainder of Miller's term that expires at the end of 2016, with both the special primary and general elections to take place alongside the regularly scheduled elections.[10]

11th District

Democratic state Rep. Julie Plawecki of the 11th District died unexpectedly while hiking in Oregon on June 25, 2016.[11] Gov. Rick Snyder called a special election on July 5, 2016, to fill the remainder of Plawecki's term, with the special primary taking August 30 and the special general election to take place alongside the regularly scheduled general election on November 8, 2016.[12] The primary was canceled on July 13, 2016, by Snyder after only one Democrat and one Republican filed for the race, making a primary unnecessary.[13] The Democratic candidate is Plawecki's 22-year-old daughter Lauren. The winner will serve the final two months of the term that expires December 31, 2016.
