Lok Sabha bypolls were held in:
Samastipur, BiharSatara, Maharashtra

The by-election in Bihar's Samastipur Lok Sabha constituency was necessitated by the demise of Ramchandra Paswan. He was a Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Member of Parliament (MP) and the younger brother of Union Minister and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan.

A Congress candidate took on LJP's candidate here.

The Satara bypoll was necessitated after sitting MP from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Udayanraje Bhosale, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after resigning from Lok Sabha.

This bypoll was not announced on September 21, along with other election schedules. The decision to hold the bypoll was taken after the Bombay High Court decided on a petition regarding the elections. The order had reached EC on September 23.

Udayanraje Bhosale now contested on a BJP ticket and was challenged by NCP's Shriniwas Patil.
