The 1910 New South Wales state election involved 90 electoral district returning one member each.[ 1]
This was the first NSW election using a second ballot system . All previous elections had used a first past the post voting system, where a candidate might be elected with less than 50% of the vote especially where two or more similar candidates split the vote.[ a] Under the second ballot system, if a candidate failed to achieve at least 50% of the vote in an electorate, a run-off election would take place in the following weeks. In this election, 3 electorates proceeded to second round elections. At Durham and St Leonards the second round ballot was won by the leading candidate; however, at Hastings and Macleay the support from the Labour Party saw the independent overtake sitting Liberal Reform member to take the seat. The Labour Party fielded a candidate in every electorate, with the result that the only 3 uncontested seats, Broken Hill , Cobar and The Murray , were all held by the Labour Party.[ 1]
There were 15 seats that elected a member from a different party and a further 11 seats where the member retained the seat but changed party. For a comprehensive list, see 1910 New South Wales state election § Changing seats .
The election saw the final demise of the Progressive Party , with the four surviving members, Gordon McLaurin (Albury ), George Briner (Raleigh ), Robert Levien (Tamworth ) and Robert Donaldson (Wynyard ) retaining their seats having campaigned as Independent Liberals.[ 2] [ b]
