A special election was held in Georgia's 1st congressional district on July 9, 1792, to fill a vacancy caused by the House Committee on Elections finding on March 21, 1792, that electoral fraud had been involved in Anthony Wayne's election in 1791.[1] His election was declared void and he was removed from the House.
