Candidates are filing their nomination papers to run for two vacant legislative seats.
The 1st Senate District and the 42nd Assembly District have been vacant since December when Gov. Scott Walker appointed the Republican incumbents, Frank Lasee and Keith Ripp, to positions in his administration. Walker last month set special elections to fill the spots, with primaries on May 15 and the general elections on June 12.
Candidates have until the end of the day Tuesday to file nomination papers.
