The 2024 Wisconsin's 8th congressional district special election was held concurrent with the fall general election on November 5, 2024, to fill the vacant seat in Wisconsin's 8th congressional district. The winner will serve in the United States House of Representatives for the remainder of the 118th United States Congress, which ends January 3, 2025. The seat became vacant on April 24, 2024,[a] when Mike Gallagher resigned from Congress.[1] On May 14, Governor Tony Evers scheduled the special election to be held concurrently with the fall general election, on November 5, with primaries being held concurrent with the fall primary, on August 13.[2]
