Background
In 1924 a partially elected Legislative Council of 12 members was established with nine nominated seats and three elected seats.[1] Prior to the 1931 elections, women were given the right to vote and run for office.[1]
Campaign
Louis McVane was the only candidate in Northern District. Western District was contested by H.E. Belmar and DuBoulay, who had a heated campaign.[1]
Results
All three MLCs elected in 1928 were re-elected; George Palmer in Eastern District, McVane in Northern District and Belmar in Western District.[2]
