Candidates of the 1904 New South Wales state election
The 1904 New South Wales state election was held on 6 August 1904.[1] It involved 90 electoral districts returning one member each, a reduction from 125 to 90.[lower-alpha 1] Women were given the right to vote for the first time in New South Wales elections, almost doubling the number of enrolled voters. As a result, it is not possible to tell the notional holder of a seat prior to the election.

gollark: What do you mean without history? That's a string isn't it?
gollark: So you could add a page type field or something which could be set to "todo list", and have todo-list-like revisions instead of the NewContent ones used for markdown pages.
gollark: In theory the design... doesn't entirely disallow? having certain types of page handled differently for that.
gollark: It's a wiki-style note-taking web application.
gollark: This is also annoying to program. PRs welcome, of course.
