1931 Annandale state by-election

Election result for Annandale, New South Wales, Australia

The 1931 Annandale state by-election was held on 18 April 1931 for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Annandale because the seat of Robert Stuart-Robertson (Labor) was declared vacant on 9 April 1931 as he had been declared bankrupt.[1]

Stuart-Robertson re-contested and was returned with a reduced majority. There was some controversy over using Anzac Day for the by-election.[1] He defeated the Independent candidate Harry Meatheringham who had contested four previous elections in the seats of Auburn, North Shore and North Sydney,[2] as well as Communist William Morrison and another Independent Martha Simpson, two first time candidates who never stood again.[3][4]
