# List of Yukon by-elections

The list of Yukon by-elections includes every by-election held in the Canadian territory of Yukon. By-elections occur whenever there is a vacancy in the Legislative Assembly, although an imminent general election may allow the vacancy to remain until the dissolution of parliament.

## Causes

A by-election occurs whenever there is a vacancy in the Yukon legislature. Vacancies can occur for the following reasons:
* Death of a member.
* Resignation of a member.
* Voided results

When there is a vacancy, a by-election must be called within six months.
