Candidates of the 1904 New South Wales state election
The 1904 New South Wales state election was held on 6 August 1904.[1] It involved 90 electoral districts returning one member each, a reduction from 125 to 90.[a] Women were given the right to vote for the first time in New South Wales elections, almost doubling the number of enrolled voters. As a result, it is not possible to tell the notional holder of a seat prior to the election.
