Elections were held in the Colony of Queensland between 18 April 1893 and 25 May 1893 to elect the members of the colony’s Legislative Assembly.
This election was an early use of contingent voting in a government election.[1]
Due to problems of distance and communications, it was not possible to hold the elections on a single day.[2]
