Mudgee Labor MLA Bill Dunn and Liverpool Plains Labor MLA Henry Horne resigned from the Labor Party and Parliament on 25 July 1911 in protest at legislation on land ownership introduced by Lands Minister, Niels Nielsen. As a result, the Labor was left without a majority in the house and rather than face a vote of no confidence, the Ministry and Speaker resigned. This forced the House to be prorogued with the result that Cobar Labor MLA, Donald Macdonell, who was unwell but expected to recover, was automatically expelled for non-attendance during an entire session. By the time of the subsequent by-elections, Labor policy had been reversed and Nielsen had left the ministry. Dunn rejoined the party and successfully re-contested, the Mudgee by-election on 16 August 1911. Horne did not re-contest the Liverpool Plains by-election which was won by Liberal candidate, John Perry by three votes on the same day. This result was overturned on appeal and at the second by-electionon 28 October, Labor candidate, William Ashford was successful. In Cobar, Macdonell was unopposed when re-elected on 7 October, but died three weeks later. The Labor candidate, Charles Fern, was unopposed at the resultant by-election on 16 December. Denied further ministerial appointment Nielsen resigned from the seat of Yass and Labor candidate Greg McGirr won the resultant by-election on 19 July 1913.

5 Maitland Independent Liberal MLA John Gillies died on 23 September 1911. The resultant by-election was won by Liberal candidate Charles Nicholson on 28 October.
7 Alexandria Labor MLA John Dacey died on 11 April 1912. The resultant by-election was won by Labor candidate Simon Hickey on 18 May.
8 Blayney Labor MLA George Beeby resigned from the ministry, parliament and party in protest at the power of the extra-parliamentary Labor Party executive in December 1912. He won the resultant by-election after a run-off ballot on 23 January 1913.
10 Wollondilly Liberal MLA William McCourt died on 22 June 1913. Liberal candidate Frank Badgery won the resultant by-election on 19 July.
