From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By-elections to the 14th Canadian Parliament were held to elect members of the House of Commons of Canada between the 1921 federal election and the 1925 federal election . The Liberal Party of Canada led the government, which fluctuated between a minority and majority, for the 14th Canadian Parliament .
The list includes Ministerial by-elections which occurred due to the requirement that Members of Parliament recontest their seats upon being appointed to Cabinet. These by-elections were almost always uncontested. This requirement was abolished in 1931.
