The 1882 New South Wales colonial election was for 113 members representing 72 electoral districts. The election was conducted on the basis of a simple majority or first-past-the-post voting system. In this election there were 32 multi-member districts returning 73 members and 40 single member districts. In the multi-member districts each elector could vote for as many candidates as there were vacancies. 13 districts were uncontested. There was no recognisable party structure at this election.[1] The average number of enrolled voters per seat was 1,701, ranging from East Maitland (984) to Wentworth (2,977).[2]
The electoral boundaries were established under the Electoral Act 1880 (NSW),[3] which provided that a district would return a second member if the electoral roll reached 3,000, a third member upon reaching 5,000 and a fourth member on reaching 8,000.[4] At this election there were five districts which returned an additional member, Balmain, Bourke, Canterbury, Redfern and St Leonards.
