YES

Resolves YES if either Justin Jones or Justin Pearson, who were just expelled from the Tennessee state legislature, are reappointed to their seats in the interim until special elections are held, or win the special elections. Resolves NO otherwise: if neither of them wins the special elections and neither of them is reappointed in the interim.

According to the Tennessee Constitution, since there is more than twelve months until the next general election in November 2024, a special election will be held to fill the seats.

Tennessee law allows for the appointment of interim House members to fill the seats of expelled lawmakers until an election is held by local legislative bodies.
