Notes

  1. Wammerawa has been included as a second Labor seat from the 1922 election. The returning officer declared that William Ashford (Independent) had been elected 3rd,[4] however the Elections and Qualifications Committee upheld a petition by Joseph Clark (Labor) and after re-counting the votes declared that Clark had been elected.[5][6]
  2. Swing is calculated using the Butler method, being the average of the winning party percentage-point gain and the losing party percentage-point loss. NA is used where one of the parties did not contest both elections.
