Alfred Deakin Liberal Andrew Fisher Labour The 1910 Australian federal election was held in Australia on 13 April 1910.
It also remains the only election in Australia's federal history to have occurred following expiration of a full three-year parliamentary term by the "effluxion of time".
Prime Minister Alfred Deakin allowed the parliament to run to its maximum permissible length under section 28 of the constitution (three years).
Its final meeting ended on 8 December 1909, and it was then prorogued until 19 February 1910 at which point it expired by "effluxion of time".
This remains the only occasion to date where the House has been allowed to expire, rather than being dissolved earlier by the Governor-General.
