A special election was held in Pennsylvania's 1st congressional district on October 10, 1809, to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Representative Benjamin Say (DR) in June of that year.
Say, who had been elected in a special election the previous year, spent a little under a year in Congress, serving in the second session of the 10th Congress[1] and the first session of the 11th Congress.[2]
