1899 Queensland colonial election


Elections were held in the Colony of Queensland between 1 March 1899 and 25 March 1899 to elect the members of the colony’s Legislative Assembly.
This election used contingent voting, at least in the single-member districts.
Five districts were two-seat districts - Mackay, Marlborough, North Brisbane, Rockhampton and South Brisbane. In the two-member constituencies, plurality block voting was used -- electors could cast two valid votes but were allowed to "plump".

Key dates

Due to problems of distance and communications, it was not possible to hold the elections on a single day.
