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. 5k Views ·

By-election is an election held in a single political constituency to fill a vacancy arising during a government's term of office.A special election to fill vacant elective position with an unexpired term due to demise or resigination of the occupant.

A midterm election refers to a type of election where the people can elect their representatives in the middle of the term of the executive or of another set of members.

When elections are held much before the schedule, it is considered as the Mid-term Election. The President can dissolve Lok Sabha and call a general election before five years is up, if the government can no longer command the confidence of the Lok Sabha, and if there is no alternative government to take over.
