The1904 New South Wales state election involved 90electoral districts returning one member each. The election was conducted on the basis of a simple majority orfirst-past-the-post voting system.[1] There were two significant changes from the 1901 election, the first was that women were given the right to vote, which saw an increase in the number of enrolled voters from 345,500 in 1901,[2] to 689,490 in 1904.[1] The second was that as a result of the1903 New South Wales referendum, the number of members of the Legislative Assembly was reduced from 125 to 90.[3] The combined effect of the changes meant that the average number of enrolled voters per electorate went from 2,764,[a] to 7,661,[b] an increase of 277%.Leichhardt was the only district that was not substantially changed, whileThe Macquarie andThe Murray districts retained nothing but the name.
In this election, in 20 electorates the winning candidate received less than 50% of the votes, while 2 were uncontested.[c] Two seats were contested by 3 sitting members.[d]
Of the 125 members of the house prior to the election, 4 were appointed to the Legislative Council,[e] 10 did not contest the election,[f] and a further 41 were defeated at the election. 70 members (56%) retained a seat after the election.
