The election was won by the governing Liberals, led by incumbent Premier Arthur Peters. Peters' own election in the district of 2nd Kings was almost in doubt, due to a tie vote of 515 votes each for him and his Conservative opponent; following a judicial recount, a by-election was held where Peters was acclaimed as the district's Assemblyman.
Peters died in January 1908, and was succeeded as Premier by Francis Haszard.
The opposition Conservatives, led by John A. Mathieson, lost one seat.
One of the two members from each constituency is styled a Councillor, and the other an Assemblyman. In electoral contests Councillor candidates runs against Councillor candidates; Assemblyman candidates against Assemblyman candidates.[2]
