The Clacton by-election is to be held on 9 October, the Conservative Party has said.
The election was triggered by sitting MP Douglas Carswell's surprise decision to defect from the Tories to the UK Independence Party.
If he wins the election, he will become UKIP's first elected MP in Westminster.
He held the Essex seat with a majority of 12,068 at the 2010 general election, having first been elected to Parliament in 2005.
The vote will take place a day after the end of the Lib Dem party conference in Glasgow. The date chosen by the Conservatives is also David Cameron's 48th birthday.
The Conservatives have yet to chose a candidate to take on Mr Carswell after his shock move but Simon Martin-Redman, chairman of the Clacton Conservative Association, said many people had expressed an interest in standing and the party would fight a "robust" campaign.
Labour has chosen Colchester councillor Tim Young as its candidate.
The writ for the by-election is expected to be formally moved in Parliament later on Tuesday.
