I think they still have to have a special election If a U.S. Senator leaves office in Kentucky, the governor is legally required to call a special election to fill the remainder of the unexpired term.

If a U.S. Representative (Congressman) vacates their seat, a special election is also called by the governor to determine the replacement.
