A snap election is an election that is called earlier than the one that has been scheduled. Generally,a snap election in a parliamentary system is called to capitalize on an unusual electoral opportunity or to decide a pressing issue,under circumstances when an election is not required by law or convention. A snap election differs from a recall election in that it is initiated by politicians rather than voters,and from a by-election in that a completely new parliament is chosen as opposed to merely filling vacancies in an already established assembly. Early elections can also be called in certain jurisdictions after a ruling coalition is dissolved if a replacement coalition cannot be formed within a constitutionally set time limit.

The dissolution of a legislative assembly is the simultaneous termination of service of all of its members,in anticipation that a successive legislative assembly will reconvene later with possibly different members. In a democracy,the new assembly is chosen by a general election. Dissolution is distinct on the one hand from abolition of the assembly,and on the other hand from its adjournment or prorogation,or the ending of a legislative session,any of which begins a period of inactivity after which it is anticipated that the same members will reassemble. For example,the "second session of the fifth parliament" could be followed by the "third session of the fifth parliament" after a prorogation,but would be followed by the "first session of the sixth parliament" after a dissolution.
