==By-Elections==
==Subsequent vacancies and by-elections==
* In November 2009, [[Raj Babbar]] of [[Indian National Congress]] got elected from [[Firozabad]], Uttar Pradesh. Seat was vacant as [[Akhilesh Yadav]] of [[Samajwadi Party]] resigned from this seat keeping the [[Kannauj]] Seat as he had contested from both and had to drop one seat.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://expressbuzz.com/nation/congress-bsp-score-big-left-routed/120079.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511224008/http://expressbuzz.com/nation/congress-bsp-score-big-left-routed/120079.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 May 2012|title=Raj Babbar wins in Firozabad, blow to Mulayam|date=10 November 2009|publisher=[[Indian Express]]|access-date=10 November 2009}}</ref>
The below list only covers seats whose vacancies were filled through by-elections. Conventionally, vacancies occurring with less than a year to go for the conclusion of the term, are generally left vacant for the remainder of the term. In the case of the 15th Lok Sabha, this means that by-elections would not have been held for vacancies post June 2013, with less than a year to go for the [[2014 Indian general election|2014 election]]. Only vacancies for which by-elections were held, i.e, occurring prior to May 2013, are mentioned here.
* On 13 May 2011, [[Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy]] of [[YSR Congress]] got elected from [[Kadapa]], [[Andhra Pradesh]]. He resigned his seat when he resigned from Indian National Congress. He contested that seat again won by {{formatnum:545000}} votes.  
 
*Elections were held on 13 October 2011 for the Hissar Lok Sabha seat due to the death of Bhajan Lal. The HJC-BJP alliance, represented by [[Kuldeep Bishnoi]] s/o [[Bhajan Lal]], won the election.
* A total of 19 by-elections across seats in 11 different states were held through the duration of the 15th Lok Sabha, with the first in November 2009 and the last in August 2013.
*On 3 May 2012, [[Akhilesh Yadav]] resigned from the [[Kannauj]] seat, to serve as Chief Minister of [[Uttar Pradesh]], after [[Samajwadi Party]] won Assembly Elections.<ref>{{cite news|title=UP CM Akhilesh Yadav resigns as Lok Sabha MP|url=http://post.jagran.com/UP-CM-Akhilesh-Yadav-resigns-as-Lok-Sabha-MP-1336015686|newspaper=Jagran Post}}</ref> His wife, [[Dimple Yadav]] was elected unopposed from the seat in the bye-elections.<ref>{{cite news|title=Akhilesh's wife Dimple Yadav elected unopposed from Kannauj Lok Sabha seat|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/akhileshs-wife-dimple-yadav-elected-unopposed-from-kannauj-lok-sabha-seat/1/199933.html|newspaper=India Today}}</ref>
* 6 of these by-elections were necessitated by the death of the incumbent MP, and 13 due to resignation.
*On 13 October 2012 results of by-elections to [[Tehri Garhwal (Lok Sabha constituency)]] in Uttarakhand and [[Jangipur (Lok Sabha constituency)]] in West Bengal were declared. The incumbent MP of Tehri [[Vijay Bahuguna]] had resigned upon being elected to the Uttarakhand Legislative assembly and becoming Chief Minister, while the MP from Jangipur, Pranab Mukherjee, had ceased to be an MP upon election as the President of India, thus necessitating the by-elections. In Tehri, [[Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah]] of BJP won the seat while Abhijit Mukherjee (son of Pranab Mukherjee) retained the Jangipur seat as Congress nominee.
* Of the 13 resignations, 1 was for vacating a second seat, 6 for becoming Chief Ministers of different states, 1 for becoming President, 2 for becoming MLAs and 3 due to party defections.
* In May 2009, [[Firozabad (Lok Sabha constituency)|Firozabad]] fell vacant due to the resignation of [[Samajwadi Party]] MP [[Akhilesh Yadav]] as he preferred to retain [[Kannauj (Lok Sabha constituency)|Kannauj]] after winning two seats in the [[2009 Indian general election|2009 election]]. [[Raj Babbar]] of [[Indian National Congress]] won the seat in the by-election.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://expressbuzz.com/nation/congress-bsp-score-big-left-routed/120079.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511224008/http://expressbuzz.com/nation/congress-bsp-score-big-left-routed/120079.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 May 2012|title=Raj Babbar wins in Firozabad, blow to Mulayam|date=10 November 2009|work=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=10 November 2009}}</ref>
