hi mate,

Key Differences Between General Elections and Bye-elections

The difference between general elections and bye-elections are elaborated here:

• General Elections are the regular elections which are held after every five years, in all the constituencies countrywide or statewide, to fill seats of the Lok Sabha and State Assembly. On the contrary, Bye-elections are the elections held only in one constituency in the mid-term, owing to the vacancy caused by death or resignation of the candidate elected for that seat.
• General elections are conducted with an aim of choosing the government. As against, Bye-elections are carried on with a purpose of filling the seat that falls vacant, after the demise or resignation of the incumbent.
• General elections are organized after every five years. Unlike bye-elections which are organized between general elections. Indeed, once the seat becomes vacant, bye-elections are organized within 6 months, from the date it becomes vacant.
• The candidate elected in the general elections can hold the office for a full term of five years. Conversely, the candidate winning bye-election can hold the office for remaining term only.
