133. However, the main difference between this section and the corresponding section of the Australian Constitution is that there is an option for the House elect the replacement member rather than being referred to the electors.  This allows for co-option of members of Parliament.  However, the election for a new member must be referred to the electoral division where the vacancy was caused by the removal of the member as a director.  This protects the rights of members of electoral divisions in being able to select their replacement.
