State whether the following statement is true or false. Give a reason for your answer.

Under special circumstances, the Election Commission holds re-elections in a particular constituency for a second time.

  • True

  • False

Answer

This statement is True.

Reasons:

  1. This happens if the elected government loses its majority before completing its term in the Parliament or if the parties of the coalition government withdraw their support which results in the loss of majority support for the government. Also, if no alternative government is possible then under such circumstances, Midterm elections are held by the Election Commission before the completion of the term.
  2. Sometimes By-elections are conducted in the constituency, if an elected representative in Lok Sabha, Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly), or local self-government resigns or if there is a vacant seat on account of his/her death.
