This is a list of electoral district results for the 1941 Queensland state election for electorates from A to K.
This is a list of current and former electoral divisions for the Legislative Assembly of Queensland, the state legislature for Queensland, Australia.
At the time, the voting system in Queensland was based on contingency voting, which was similar to the modern optional preferential voting system. In electorates with 3 or more candidates, preferences were not distributed if a candidate received more than 50% of the primary vote.
The contingent vote is an electoral system used to elect a single winner. It is a variation of instant-runoff voting, in which the voter ranks the candidates in order of preference.
If none received more than 50%, all except the top two candidates were eliminated from the count and their preferences distributed between the two leaders, with the one receiving the most votes declared the winner.
