That would not be a "general" election contemplated by the statute
framers, on which the nominees of parties appear with their party
affiliations indicated, and there are nomination primaries or
conventions at which cross-over or nonaffiliate participation is to
be excluded. A special election in January would almost necessarily
have to be nonpartisan, since there would not be time for parties to
conduct a nomination process.
