List of Great Britain by-elections (1715–1734)

This is a list of by-elections held in Great Britain between 1715 and 1734. In this period, Great Britain was governed under the reign of King George I and King George II.

A by-election occurs when a seat in the House of Commons falls vacant between general elections. This can be due to a number of reasons, including the death of the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), their resignation, acceptance of a peerage, or expulsion from the House.

The list will typically include the date of the by-election, the constituency in which the election was held, the reason for the vacancy, the previous MP, the candidates who stood in the by-election, and the eventual winner. The political party affiliation of each candidate will also be noted. In some instances, details of the vote share and the change in vote share compared to the previous general election may be included.

This period is significant in British political history. The Whig party generally dominated, though faced opposition from the Tories and various independent figures. By-elections during this era can offer valuable insights into shifts in public opinion, the relative strengths of the different political factions, and the dynamics of local politics within Great Britain. Detailed study of the results can illuminate the complexities of patronage, influence, and local grievances that shaped the political landscape of the early Hanoverian period.
