When a vacancy occurs in the office of United States senator or United States representative, the governor shall, by proclamation, call a special election under AS 15.40.142 (a). However, if the vacancy occurs on a date that is less than 60 days before or is on or after the date of the primary election in the general election year during which a candidate to fill the office is regularly elected, the governor may not call a special election.
