Candidates of the 1904 New South Wales state election
Appearance
(Redirected from Candidates of the New South Wales state election, 1904)
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.
