What is a consecutive federal elections?
Consecutive federal elections are elections that occur
back-to-back; all elections are consecutive unless they are
unprecedented or abolished after being held once.
Usually, the term is used in the context of election victories.
If a party wins consecutive federal elections, it has won several
elections without interruption. For example, in Canada, the
Progressive Conservative Party won the federal election of 1984 and
was re-elected at the next election in 1988. It thus won
consecutive federal elections.
