Hobart and Launceston were given 6 and 4 members respectively, who were elected using STV. First past the post was used in single-member constituencies elsewhere in the state. Following this term, the system largely returned to its pre–1897 state (all members elected through first past the post), but at the 1909 election (and up to the present), the entire State was divided into five multi-member electorates and the Hare-Clark system was used to elect every member.
