Notes

¹ Following the 1933 state election a new Ministry consisting of eight members, including one Member of the Legislative Council, was appointed on 24 April 1933. These members were therefore required to resign and contest ministerial by-elections on 2 May 1933, at which all were returned unopposed.

² At the 1933 election, Labor member Aubrey Coverley won the seat of Kimberley by just 32 votes against the Nationalist candidate Arthur Povah. On 3 July 1933, the Court of Disputed Returns ordered a fresh election for 29 July, which Coverley won by 289 votes.

³ On 16 March 1935, the Labor member for South Fremantle, Alick McCallum, resigned. Labor candidate Thomas Fox won the resulting by-election held on 4 May 1935.

⁴ Frank Wise was appointed Minister for Agriculture on 26 March 1935 following the departure of Alick McCallum from the Ministry, and was therefore required to resign and contest a ministerial by-election on 11 April 1935, at which he was returned unopposed.

⁵ On 23 March 1935, the Country member for Avon, Harry Griffiths, died. Country candidate Ignatius Boyle won the resulting by-election held on 4 May 1935.

⁶ On 21 July 1935, the Country member for Katanning, Arnold Piesse, died. Country candidate Arthur Watts won the resulting by-election held on 31 August 1935.
