What triggers a vacancy in the General Assembly?

A vacancy in the General Assembly can occur for several reasons related to the status of its members. One of the primary triggers is when a member moves into another district. When a legislator changes their residential address and, in doing so, no longer resides in the district they represent, this creates a vacancy. The General Assembly expects its members to reside within their districts to effectively serve and represent their constituents.

The other potential answers present scenarios that can lead to vacancies but are not as straightforward. For instance, while resignations, incapacitations, and expulsions also create vacancies, they are not the only or even primary cause of defining a vacancy based on geographical representation.

While resignation is a clear cause of vacancy, it does not include the nuances surrounding district representation. Therefore, the emphasis on moving into another district specifically highlights one of the key reasons for a vacancy concerning the structure of the General Assembly.
