The elections will be held to fill 18 vacant parliamentary seats: nine in the Pyithu Hluttaw, three in the Amyotha Hluttaw, and six in regional parliaments of Kayah State Hluttaw and Shan State Hluttaw. The seats were left by those who became government leaders or officials after the 2015 general election, or unable to be held due to instability at that time.
