If he had retired months ago when he first left the Senate for his health, an appointment could have been made and then the primary could be held this Tuesday during Arizona's regular primary date and the election to serve until 2022 could be held this November. But no, he refused to resign thus preventing Democrats from flipping his seat until at least 2020.

That was an issue from several months back. McCain didn't resign, so the deadline passed... JHB Aug 2018 #5

Neither a special, nor to the end of term from what I saw, but rather until 2020 general. RockRaven Aug 2018 #6
