Why Are Candidates Elected Unopposed?
A candidate is elected unopposed when no other valid candidate remains in the contest for that seat after the nomination scrutiny and withdrawal process. This may happen when other nominations are rejected, candidates withdraw or no rival candidate files a valid nomination.
An unopposed election is different from winning after polling. Such candidates do not have a contested vote count or a winning margin against a runner-up.
