List of MPs elected in the 1796 British general election facts for kids
The 1796 British general election chose the people who would represent different areas in the Parliament of Great Britain. This election was a big deal because it was the last one before Great Britain joined with Ireland to form the United Kingdom in 1801.

What are By-elections?
Sometimes, an MP might leave their seat before the next general election. This could be because they passed away, got a new job, or became a noble. When this happens, a special election called a by-election is held to choose a new MP for that area. You can find more details about these specific by-elections here:
