1 The December 1916 ALP split over conscription completely recast the party composition of the assembly. Premier Holman, and twenty of his supporters were expelled from the party for defying party policy and supporting conscription. They joined a Grand coalition with the members of the various conservative parties. By 1917, this had coalesced into the Nationalist Party of Australia. Four ALP members were also expelled for supporting conscription and they continued to sit as Independent Labor. The remaining 25 ALP members opposed conscription and became the official opposition ALP.
2 Canterbury ALP MLA Henry Peters was declared bankrupt in October 1914. The resultant by-election was won by ALP candidate George Cann on 10 October 1914.
3 Castlereagh ALP MLA John Treflé died on 11 January 1915. The resultant by-election was won by ALP candidate James Arkins on 20 February 1915.
4 Clarence Liberal MLA John McFarlane died on 9 July 1915. The resultant by-election was won by Liberal candidate William Zuill on 14 August 1915.
5 Armidale Liberal MLA George Braund died on active service on 4 May 1915. The resultant by-election was won by Liberal candidate Herbert Lane on 18 September 1915.
6 Wollondilly Liberal MLA Frank Badgery died on 28 August 1915. The resultant by-election was won by Liberal candidate George Fuller on 2 October 1915.
7 Willoughby ALP MLA Edward Larkin died in action on 25 April 1915. The resultant by-election was won by Independent candidate John Haynes on 25 September 1915.
8 Drummoyne Liberal MLA George Richards died on 4 December 1915. The resultant by-election was won by Liberal candidate Alexander Graff on 22 January 1916.
9 Parramatta Liberal MLA Tom Moxham died on 11 January 1916. The resultant by-election was won by Liberal candidate Albert Bruntnell on 12 February 1915.
10 At the Easter 1916 NSW ALP Conference, a motion of no confidence in the Holman government was passed. Holman resigned the ALP leadership but not the premiership or his seat. When no willing alternative leader was found, the motion of no confidence was reversed and Holman restored. Bingara MLA George McDonald resigned from the party and his seat as a protest at the Conference's behaviour. He was returned at the Bingara by-election, 1916 as an Independent on 10 June 1916.
11 Sturt ALP MLA John Cann resigned to accept the position of Commissioner of Railways in January 1917. The resultant by-election was won by ALP candidate Percy Brookfield on 3 February 1917.
