election used to fill an office that has become vacant between general elections. This was not the case here: as has been pointed out, elected members since 1972 had definite terms, and these elections were not held "between general elections" either: these were the general elections, or at the closest thing you could think of it at the time. Further, there is a general feeling that a "by-election" refers to filling vacants in a constituency-wide basis, not at a more general level such as these could be. "Supplementary elections" would be the closest you could get them to be, but I don't think that copes well with WP:COMMONNAME outside Taiwan, so as per WP:NCELECT the current titles would be the most complete and unambiguous ones. I do not have a strong feeling on this, though, so I am casting a weak oppose only. Impru20 talk 20:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
