Dunedin Central by-election, 1915

The Dunedin Central by-election of 1915 was a by-election during the 19th New Zealand Parliament held on 3 February in the Dunedin Central electorate. The by-election was sparked by the resignation of the incumbent, Charles Statham,[1] after irregularities in the counting of the vote during the 1914 general election turned a 12-vote lead for his competitor James Munro into a 12-vote loss. There were only two nominees:
