Candidates of the 1938 South Australian state election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of candidates of the 1938 South Australian state election.[1][2] At this election, the House of Assembly shifted from multi-member to single-member electorates. Combined with the partisan turmoil of the previous two terms, this change led several previously party-affiliated figures to contest the election as independents.
