From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Darling Harbour on 13 April 1910. The by-election was triggered by the resignation of John Norton (Independent) to unsuccessfully contest 1910 federal Senate election for NSW.[1]

The by-election and those for Queanbeyan and Upper Hunter were held on the same day as the 1910 Federal election.
