Four seats in NSW, five seats in Victoria (Balaclava, Ballaarat, Corinella, Gippsland and Indi), one seat in Queensland (Darling Downs), five seats in South Australia (Adelaide, Angas, Barker, Grey and Wakefield) and two seats in Western Australia (Coolgardie and Swan) were uncontested, lowering turnout in those states, greatly so in South Australia and Western Australia. The national turnout figure is also greatly lowered as a result.

Eight Protectionists, four Free Traders, two Labour members and one independent were elected unopposed. The Protectionist vote is therefore substantially understated.

Each voter could cast up to three votes. But since voters could cast fewer than three votes if they chose, the actual number of voters is not known. These figures have been obtained by dividing the number of votes polled by each party in each state by three. They are approximations only.[1]

This table shows the number of seats won by each party at this election, plus the seats won in 1901 (allowing for changes of party by some Senators), to give the total number of seats held by each party in the new Senate.

The Others were one independent in Victoria and one Revenue Tariffist in Tasmania.

Electoral district of Ridley

The Electoral district of Ridley was an electorate of the South Australian House of Assembly, existing between 1938 and 1970.

Created for the 1938 South Australian election, following the change from multi-member to single-member electorates, Ridley was located in the riverland area of South Australia. It was held by Tom Stott for its entire existance. An independant, Stott was the longest serving independent in Australian political history.
