There are two ways that a representative is replaced. The first is by having a special election and the second is by appointment by the governor.
If you will remember in Massachusetts they played games with the requirements. First they changed the law to allow the governor to appoint a new person; but when Kennedy died they demanded the new senator be chosen by election.
You might want to look up the requirements on your state's webpage.
