Explain the term Bye-Election.

Answer

During the general elections a candidate is elected for a fixed period. As in the case of Lok Sabha a candidate is elected for five years, but if due to some reasons i.e., resignation or the sudden death of the member a seat falls vacant, then the election is held again in that constituency. This election is known as the bye-election.
