Submitted by Kevin Derby on January 10, 2014 - 4:09pm

With Steve Precourt resigning his seat from the Florida House this week, Gov. Rick Scott called a special election on Friday to fill the seat. The primaries will be held on March 11 while the general election will be held on April 8.

Precourt was facing term limits in November and three candidates -- Republican former Rep. Eric Eisnaugle and Democrats Lee Douglas and Shaun Raja -- were already running for the seat.

The seat represents parts of Orange County.
