1900 North Sligo by-election
UK Parliamentary by-election
The North Sligo by-election was a Parliamentary by-election held on 7 March 1900.[1] The constituency returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.
The seat had become vacant following the resignation of the incumbent Irish Parliamentary Party MP, Bernard Collery who had been elected for the Irish National Federation (Anti-Parnellite).[2] Collery vacated his Parliamentary seat by being appointed Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds on 27 January 1900.[3] Collery had been Member of Parliament for the constituency since the 1891 by-election.
