Answer
A by-election, also known as a special election, is held to fill a vacancy in a legislative body when the incumbent leaves before the end of their term. It differs from a general election, which is held regularly to elect all members of the legislative body at the same time. By-elections are typically held when the sitting member dies, resigns, or is disqualified.
