A snap election is an election that is called earlier than the one that has been scheduled.

Generally, a snap election in a parliamentary system is called to capitalize on an unusual electoral opportunity or to decide a pressing issue, under circumstances when an election is not required by law or convention.

A snap election differs from a recall election in that it is initiated by politicians rather than voters, and from a by-election in that the winners will serve an entire term as opposed to the remainder of an already established term.

Early elections can also be called in certain jurisdictions after a ruling coalition is dissolved if a replacement coalition cannot be formed within a constitutionally set time limit.
