Three-term U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz has resigned his Congressional seat effective Jan. 20, 2025. President-elect Donald Trump has named Waltz, a former Green Beret, as his national security advisor, a position that does not require Senate confirmation.

Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Kaiti Lenhart announced that a special election has been called to fill Waltz's Congressional District 6 seat. A special primary election will be held Jan. 28 with the special general election set for April 1, Lenhart announced.

The 6th Congressional District represents all of Flagler County, part of Volusia County — including Ormond Beach — and parts of Putnam, Marion and Lake counties.
