help_text='\n Reasons why a by-election may be triggered.\n\n Not all of these can be applied to all election types.\n\n e.g. a recall petition is only used in Westminster, and failure to attend meetings\n applies to local government.\n\n An empty string represents ballots that are not applicable, e.g because they\'re not by-elections.\n\n The choices here are in part based on:\n UK Electoral Commission guidance on casual vacancies:\n <a href="https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/guidance-returning-officers-administering-local-government-elections-england/casual-vacancies-and-elections/how-casual-vacancies-occur">https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/guidance-returning-officers-administering-local-government-elections-england/casual-vacancies-and-elections/how-casual-vacancies-occur</a>\n\n \'Disqualification\' can be caused by an elected member being elected to another position.\n Since \'DISQUALIFICATION\' sounds bad, we\'ve made special cases for by-elections triggered\n because the member was elected to another position and is disqualified from holding both.\n In these cases the legislation is:\n <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/22/section/9HA">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/22/section/9HA</a> (ELECTED_COUNCIL_MAYOR)\n <a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10853/">https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10853/</a> (ELECTED_PARLIAMENT)\n <a href="https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10853/">https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10853/</a> (ELECTED_STRATEGIC_AUTHORITY_MAYOR)\n <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/32/part/1/crossheading/disqualification">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/32/part/1/crossheading/disqualification</a> (ELECTED_SENEDD)\n <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/part/I/crossheading/disqualification">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/part/I/crossheading/disqualification</a> (ELECTED_SCOTTISH_PARLIAMENT)\n ',
