    If Onasanya had been jailed for 12 months or more, parliamentary rules state she would have automatically lost her seat.
    With a three month jail term however, she will instead face what's known as a Recall Petition.
    Under new rules introduced in 2015, it means residents can force a by-election if the petition is signed by more than 10 per cent of the Peterborough electorate - around 7,000 people.
    However, because Onasanya has lodged an application to appeal against her conviction, the petition can't be opened until that process is complete.
    Once it is open, voters will have six weeks to sign it before a result is declared.
    Of course, she could choose to resign her seat before that point - if she did a by-election would follow a few weeks later.
