Clermont was a Legislative Assembly electorate in the state of Queensland. The electorate was based on the town of Clermont and surrounding areas.
History
In 1864, the Additional Members Act created six additional electoral districts, each returning 1 member:[1]
- Clermont
- Kennedy
- Maryborough
- Mitchell
- Rockhampton
- Warrego
The first elections in these six electorates were held in 1865 (that is, during a parliamentary term and not as part of a general election across Queensland). The nomination date for the election in Clermont was 18 February 1865 and the election was held on 18 March 1865.[2]
The electoral district of Clermont was abolished in 1910 when the area was incorporated into the Electoral district of Leichhardt.[1]
