Retiring Members

Note: Goldfields North MLA James Rodd had resigned on 16 November 1874 and writs issued for a by-election, which was cancelled when the general election was called.

Legislative Assembly

Sitting members are shown in bold text. Successful candidates are highlighted.

Electorates are arranged chronologically from the day the poll was held. Because of the sequence of polling, some sitting members who were defeated in their constituencies were then able to contest other constituencies later in the polling period. On the second occasion, these members are shown in italic text.
