A special election had been called for November 17, 2020, for District 49 as a result of Republican incumbent April Weaver resigning from the legislature. Primaries were held on August 4 that year, with a Republican runoff set for September 1.[9]

In addition to the five amendments that are being voted on in November, Amendment 1 – called the Appointed Education Board Amendment – was defeated in the state's primary. It would have replaced the elected State Board of Education with a Commission on Elementary and Secondary Education whose members would have been appointed by the Governor with the approval of the state senate.[11]
