1892 City of Wellington by-election Turnout 75.50%
The City of Wellington by-election of 1892 was a by-election held on 15 January 1892 during the 11th New Zealand Parliament in the urban seat of the City of Wellington .
Background [ edit ]
The election was triggered due to the resignation of sitting Member Kennedy Macdonald amidst a bankruptcy claim. The contest was won by William McLean of the Liberal Party . McLean narrowly beat the conservative Francis Bell by 3,388 votes to 3,245.[2]
The election was marred by a scandal over double voting. Over twenty cases of people casting votes more than once were discovered in a subsequent investigation.[3] John Ballance also made reference to the scandal, alleging that the Tory Party had brought in outsiders to vote who had long ceased to be residents in the electorate.[4]
Results [ edit ]
The following table gives the election results:
McLean held the seat until the 1893 general election , when he was defeated. Bell won a seat in Parliament for the Wellington electorate in 1893 and would go on to become Prime Minister more than three decades later.[7] [8]
