Special election ahead for New York's 21st Congressional District: What does that mean?

Nov. 12—There will be a special election in northern New York early next year, when voters will select someone to represent the 21st Congressional District in the House, as the current officeholder Elise M. Stefanik enters the Trump administration as ambassador to the United Nations.
According to the timeline set out by state law, voters will head to the polls sometime in the spring, likely in April.
According to New York Public Officers Law, once the seat is officially vacated, Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul will have a 10-day window during which to officially call for a special election. Once that proclamation is made, the election must happen within 70 to 80 days of that date.
Special elections are almost always scheduled for Tuesdays, in keeping with electoral tradition.

(I'm sure Hochul will do it at the max # of days after the vacancy occurs.
