This is a list of electoral district results for the 1950 New South Wales state election.
The 1941 New South Wales state election was for 90 electoral districts each returning a single member with compulsory preferential voting.
The 1930 New South Wales state election was for 90 electoral districts each returning a single member with compulsory preferential voting. The principal change from the 1927 election was the division of the state into 3 zones, Sydney with forty-three districts, Newcastle with five, and the country with forty-two. While the average number of enrolled voters per electorate was 16,009, in the country zone the average was 13,028,, in Newcastle 18,933, and Sydney 18,580.
The 1904 New South Wales state election involved 90 electoral districts returning one member each. The election was conducted on the basis of a simple majority or first-past-the-post voting system. There were two significant changes from the 1901 election, the first was that women were given the right to vote, which saw an increase in the number of enrolled voters from 345,500 in 1901, to 689,490 in 1904. The second was that as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum, the number of members of the Legislative Assembly was reduced from 125 to 90. The combined effect of the changes meant that the average number of enrolled voters per electorate went from 2,764, to 7,661, an increase of 277%. Leichhardt was the only district that was not substantially changed, while The Macquarie and The Murray districts retained nothing but the name.
