Election Day is closer than you think for North Philadelphia.

State Rep. Leslie Acosta was forced out of office last month after it was revealed that she had pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of money laundering back in September.

This week, State House Speaker Mike Turzai announced that the special election to replace her will occur on March 21st.

The party nominees will be decided by whichever process the respective party chooses.

The 197th district consists of part of North Philadelphia.
