Several MPs were elected in more than one constituency and were required to choose which one to represent when the Assembly convened, resulting in nine seats being vacanted. Two MPs died, two resigned their seats to hold national office and the results in seventeen seats were annulled, resulting in 30 vacancies across 20 constituencies. Snap elections were held on 8 April and 7 October 1901. This resulted in theProgressive Liberal Party becoming the largest party with 40 seats.[3]
