Vacancies in the House are filled either by special election or by appointment. Typically the governer of the affected state will make the appointment. This varies from state to state. The seat may also remain vacant until the next election cycle.
no Whenever a vacancy occurs in either House, the Governor is required to "issue writs of election", starting the process for a special election to fill the vacancy. During the election process, the Governor may, if the state legislature has passed a law allowing him/her to do so, appoint someone to temporarily fill only a Senate vacancy until a replacement is elected, but House vacancies always remain vacant until a replacement is elected.
If there is a vacancy in the Senate the Governor will appoint a temporary senator until the next election.
The 17th Amendment to the US Constitution requires that vacancies in the senate be filled by special election. In most states, the state governor can appoint an interim senator to fill a vacancy in the state's senate seat until a special election is held. However, in Oregon and Wisconsin the seat remains vacant until a replacement is elected.
