1910 Queanbeyan state by-election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Queanbeyan on 13 April 1910. The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Granville Ryrie (Liberal Reform) to unsuccessfully contest the 1910 federal election for Werriwa.[1]

The by-election and those for Darling Harbour and Upper Hunter were held on the same day as the 1910 Federal election.
