Elections were held in the Australian state of Queensland on 22 May 1915 to elect the 72 members of the state's Legislative Assembly. The election was the second for the Liberal government of Digby Denham, who had been premier since 7 February 1911. The opposition Labor Party, led by T. J. Ryan, had two previous Premiers — Anderson Dawson in 1899 and William Kidston in 1906 — but the former did not command a majority of parliamentary support, while the latter maintained it by splitting the Labor Party. Labor had never before held majority government.

  • Elections were held in the Australian state of Queensland on 22 May 1915 to elect the 72 members of the state's Legislative Assembly. The election was the second for the Liberal government of Digby Denham, who had been premier since 7 February 1911. The opposition Labor Party, led by T. J. Ryan, had two previous Premiers — Anderson Dawson in 1899 and William Kidston in 1906 — but the former did not command a majority of parliamentary support, while the latter maintained it by splitting the Labor Party. Labor had never before held majority government. The election was the first in Australia to be conducted using compulsory voting due to Denham's concern that Trade Unions were effectively mobilising the ALP vote; he felt that compulsory voting would ensure a more level playing field. However, it turned out that the change to compulsory voting was not enough to save Denham's premiership. The election resulted in the defeat of the government, and Queensland's first majority Labor government. All except two members of the Ministry up for election, including Denham himself, lost their seats. (en)
  • Die Wahl zur Queensland Legislative Assembly 1915 war eine Parlamentswahl, die am 22. Mai 1915 im australischen Bundesstaat Queensland durchgeführt wurde, um die 72 Mitglieder der Legislative Assembly zu bestimmen. Die Wahl war die zweite, der sich die Ministerialregierung unter stellen musste, der seit dem 7. Februar 1911 Queenslands war. Die oppositionelle Labor Party unter T. J. Ryan hatte zuvor zweimal den Premier gestellt — 1899 durch und 1906 durch , wobei ersterer durch keine Mehrheit im Parlament unterstützt wurde und letzterer diese durch Spaltung der Labor Party hervorrief. Labor hielt vor 1915 keine Mehrheitsregierung. Die Wahl brachte im Vergleich zur einen Erdrutschsieg für Labor und die erste Mehrheitsregierung Labors in Queensland. Bis auf zwei verloren die Minister Denhams und dieser selbst ihre Sitze. Die Wahl leitete eine bis 1957 andauernde Periode der Hegemonie der Labor Party in der Assembly ein, die lediglich 1929–1932 durch die unterbrochen wurde. (de)
