Gov. Rick Snyder has announced that a special election will be held in the 28th District of the state House of Representatives to fill the vacancy created when former state Rep. Derek Miller resigned to serve as Macomb County Treasurer.
A special primary election to fill the vacancy will be held on Aug. 2 and the general election will be held on Nov. 8.
Candidates wishing to be placed on the Aug. 2 primary ballot must file by Tuesday, April 19 at 4 p.m.
MIller was named last month to fill the seat vacated when Ted Wahby died in December at the age of 84 after two decades in the office.
