Background

All of these bypolls happened along with the 2024 Indian general election. The bypolls in rest of the constituencies (barring Sishamau), happened due to their mla's being elected to the Lok Sabha. The bye election to these 9 seats happened on 20 November and the results were declared on 23 November.[2]
