what is difference between by electiin and mid election
Answers
Answer:
General Election: happened after a certain period of time. Like after every 5 years in case of India.
By-election: happens after some seat fall vacant due to death of or resignation of elected member.
By-election happenes just for that particular vacant seat. New elected member then occupies the seat for remaining period of the term.
By definition general election is the rule and by-election should be the exception. But now days big shot politicians fought election from two seats (for safety). If they won from both the seats then they need to resign from one of the seat. Now, that vacant constituency will have to go through by-election to fill that vacant seat. With extra financial burden on government coffers.
