The 2022 Florida's 20th congressional district special election was a special election to the United States House of Representatives. The seat had been vacant since incumbent Democratic representative Alcee Hastings died on April 6, 2021, of pancreatic cancer.
The special election was scheduled by Governor Ron DeSantis to be held on January 11, 2022. The primary elections were held on November 2, 2021. This left the seat vacant for 9 months, substantially longer than the delay for previous special elections.
Following a recount, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was declared the winner of the Democratic primary by five votes over Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness. Cherfilus-McCormick easily defeated Republican Jason Mariner in the January 11, 2022 special election, winning 79% of the popular vote.
