How it's used

Focuses specifically on the process of replacing or renewing elected positions rather than just a general vote. It is frequently used in the context of organizational governance, such as student unions, homeowners associations, or professional bodies. Unlike general voting, it implies that a previous term has ended or a vacancy has occurred.

Common phrases

goi2改syun2選zyu2主zik6席

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 補選, which specifically refers to a by-election held to fill a single vacancy before the end of a full term. Use 改選 when the entire board or committee is up for a new round of voting.
