| Note:— |
| 1973: | The election was declared void on a petition lodged by Morgan. 44 ballot papers had been rejected on the grounds of not having received the official mark, of which 31 were for Morgan, and 13 for Simpson. The Election Court found that the failure to give the official mark was a mistake by the polling clerks and that as it had affected the result, the election must be declared invalid. |
