Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The SET Act (Special Election Timeliness Act) requires states to hold special elections to fill vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives within 180 days of the vacancy occurring, unless a regularly scheduled general election is already scheduled during that period. The bill amends federal law to establish this deadline and provides enforcement mechanisms, including civil actions by the Attorney General or aggrieved persons (including the Speaker or Minority Leader of the House) against state chief executives to ensure compliance.
