1937 Tasmanian state election

The 1937 Tasmanian state election was held on 20 February 1937 in the Australian state of Tasmania to elect 30 members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. The election used the Hare-Clark proportional representation system — six members were elected from each of five electorates. The incumbent Labor government was led by Albert Ogilvie. The opposition Nationalist Party was led by Henry Baker. Labor had a decisive win in the 1937 election, one that would see the Nationalist Party (later to become the Liberal Party) in opposition until 1969. == Results == == Distribution of votes == === Primary vote by division === === Distribution of seats === == See also == Members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly, 1937–1941 Candidates of the 1937 Tasmanian state election == References == == External links == Assembly Election Results, 1937 Archived 26 July 2008 at the Wayback Machine, Parliament of Tasmania.
