1923 appointment
[edit]Patrick Scully resigned on 20 September 1923.[13] Between 1920 and 1927 the Legislative Assembly was elected using a form of proportional representation with multi-member seats and a single transferable vote (modified Hare-Clark). The Parliamentary Elections (Casual Vacancies) Act,[14] provided that casual vacancies were filled by the next unsuccessful candidate "who represents the same party interest as the late member". William Scully had the highest number of votes of the unsuccessful Labor candidates at the 1922 election and took his seat on 20 September 1923.[15][16]
