The Newark by-election, 2014 is expected following Newark MP Patrick Mercer's announcement on 29 April 2014 that he would resign as MP following allegations that he accepted money from lobbyists for asking questions in Parliament and subsequent six-month suspension from Parliament.
By virtue of Section 14 of the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, the by-election must be held between 21 and 27 working days after the writ is moved, meaning it will have to be held after the local and European Parliament elections held on 22 May 2014. A date in June or July is expected.
