The U.S. Supreme Court found that the existing District 23 (2003, Plan 1374C) violated section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and remanded the panel to redraw CD 23. This action invalidates the results of the 7 March primary in the affected districts. Candidates in those distiricts will now run in a non-partisan special election on 7 November. If no candidate receives 50% of the vote, a run-off will be held in December at a date to be determined by the Secretary of State.
