The 1927 New South Wales state election to elect the 90 members of the 28th Legislative Assembly was held on 8 October 1927. During the previous parliament the voting system, which had been a form of proportional representation with multi-member seats and a single transferable vote (modified Hare-Clark), was changed to single member constituencies with optional preferential voting.[1][2][3] Severe divisions occurred within the Labor Partycaucus in the four months prior to the election (see Lang Labor) and a caretaker government composed of the supporters of the Premier of New South Wales and party leader, Jack Lang was in power at the time of the election.[4]
As a result of the election the Lang government was defeated and a Nationalist/Country Party coalition government led by Thomas Bavin[5] and Ernest Buttenshaw[6] was formed with a parliamentary majority of 1 and the usual support of the 2 Nationalist independents. The Parliament first met on 3 November 1927, and ran its maximum term of 3 years. Lang remained the leader of the Labor Party throughout the Parliament.
To date Lang is the only elected Labor Premier of New South Wales to be voted out of office.[citation needed]
