The upcoming state representative election will take place on January 15, 2026. Local voters will cast their ballots to fill the vacant seat in District 12 following the recent resignation of Rep. Sarah Johnson.

The election process is overseen by the state’s election office, which is responsible for ensuring fair and transparent voting practices. Officials have emphasized the importance of civic engagement and encourage all eligible voters to participate in the democratic process.

This election is crucial for local residents, as the elected representative will impact key issues such as funding for public schools and infrastructure improvements in the district.
