Life in the UK Exam 8
What sort of election takes place when a member of the Parliament (MP) dies or resigns?
Correct Answer: By-election
When an MP (Member of Parliament) dies or resigns, a by-election is held in their constituency to elect a replacement.
By-elections only affect the single vacant seat — not the whole country — and can occur at any time between general elections.
