This depends in large part on the ways elections and balloting are
conducted in each jurisdiction. It is one thing to call new elections
when it is the parties more than the individual candidates that people
vote for, and another when the candidates' party affiliations are
secondary and they are in permanent campaign mode.
Perhaps it is time to explore sortition for
members of legislative bodies.
