By-elections are held for the Parliament of Nauru to fill vacancies that occur between general elections. [1]
Previously, Nauruan general elections and by-elections used different voting systems. [2] Nauru uses the unique Dowdall system for general elections, but for by-elections it used a more conventional preferential system. Candidates had to receive an absolute majority of first preference votes. If none did, then the candidate with the fewest first preference votes was eliminated, and the next preference votes on their ballots were distributed to the remaining candidates. This cycle continued until one candidate had an absolute majority of votes. [3]
A previous version of the Electoral Act in force in 2012, under the section entitled "Counting of votes in election", differentiates the methods of counting votes in a general election and by-election. [4] The section entitled "Counting of votes in election" in the current Electoral Act applies the same vote counting method for every election in Nauru. [5]
A writ was issued by the speaker of Parliament on 29 June 1971 to fill a vacancy in the Ubenide Constituency. [6] The election was held on 14 August. The winner was determined after the four count of preferences. [7]

MP Valdon Dowiyogo's death triggered a by-election. A writ was issued by the speaker of Parliament on 22 December 2016 to fill a vacancy in the Ubenide Constituency. The election was held on 19 January 2017. [64] [65] A report from the Nauru Electoral Commission noted that, given the amount of time since the last by-election in Nauru, some voters were confused by the preferential system used as opposed to the Dowdall system used in general elections. [64] The MP who was elected, Gabrissa Hartman, was the third woman elected to the Parliament of Nauru. [2]
