The 1900 Victorian colonial election was held on 1 November 1900 to elect the 18th Parliament of Victoria. All 95 seats in the Legislative Assembly were up for election.[1]
The incumbent Ministerialist government, led by Allan McLean, was defeated and a Liberal government was formed with George Turner as Premier. Turner had previously served as premier from 1894 until 1899.[1][2][3]
This was the first election in Victoria that used first-past-the-post following the abolition of plural voting. People who lived in one electorate and owned property in another were still able to choose which electorate they voted in.[1]
This was also the last election in Victoria before Australian federation in 1901, when it became a state.
