When Wyoming Sen. Craig Thomas died last year the Governor (a Dem) asked the Republicans for three names and then he choose one from that list. That person (Barasso) had to stand for election in the next general election (Tues) even though Thomas had just won reelection and had four or five years left on his term. I don't know if this was a state law thing or a federal law thing.
