Special election

Explanation:

A special election is a type of election that is celebrated when an official resigns, or also, when they die while in office, or are removed from their post by some other reason, like being convicted of a crime or failing to attend to their obligations. These type of elections are called special because they're not held during general election days, but are instead celebrated specially to fill the seat left by the incumbent who left office. Primary elections might be celebrated by the parties hoping to win office in order to choose their candidates for the special election.
