Let's say that if Elizabeth Warren were to be tapped as the VP candidate, she would leave her seat open and in Massachusetts, which would be filled by the republican governor Charlie Baker. However, if she were to vacate her seat early, would that senate seat be on the ballot in November as well???

After Kerry resigned in February 2013, the special election was held in June 2013.
