By-polls for 8 constituencies of the '''[[Gujarat Legislative Assembly]]''' were carried out in November 2020. The bypolls were necessitated after sitting Congress MLAs resigned. Five of them then joined the ruling BJP, which fielded them from the same seats they had won in the [[2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election|2017 elections]]. As many as 81 candidates contested the bypolls across the eight seats. All 8 seats were won by the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.india.com/news/india/gujarat-by-election-result-2020-gujarat-8-seats-vidhan-sabha-election-results-full-list-of-winners-live-updates-4206304/ |title=Gujarat Bypolls 2020 Result: BJP Sweeps Victory in All 8 Seats |date=10 November 2020 |access-date= 15 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://old.eci.gov.in/files/file/12753-bye-elections-2020-parliamentary-and-assemblies |title=Bye Elections 2020 (Parliamentary and Assemblies) |publisher=[[Election Commission of India]] |access-date=15 February 2022}}</ref><br />
