Article 19
The President of the Republic shall call by-elections not more that fifteen days after the National Assembly has ascertained the termination of a deputy’s term of office.
By-elections shall be held in the constituency in which the deputy whose term of office has expired was elected.
At by-elections, the candidate with the majority of votes shall be elected.
If two or more deputies are being elected in a constituency at a by-election, all candidates on the lists of candidates in all electoral districts shall stand for election. Voters may only vote for as many candidates as there are deputies to be elected at the by-election in the constituency. The candidates with the majority of votes shall be elected.
By-elections shall be held in accordance with the provisions of this Act, which regulate general elections, unless otherwise determined by this Article.
