History edit
In 1864, the Additional Members Act created six additional electoral districts, each returning 1 member:[1]
- Clermont
- Kennedy
- Maryborough
- Mitchell
- Rockhampton
- Warrego
The first elections in these six electorates were held in 1865 (that is, during a parliamentary term and not as part of a general election across Queensland). The nomination date for the election in Clermont was 18 February 1865 and the election was held on 18 March 1865.[2]
The electoral district of Clermont was abolished in 1910 when the area was incorporated into the Electoral district of Leichhardt.[1]
