Electoral district of Ryde

Ryde is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales.

This was replaced by single member electorates, including Ryde, Burwood, Drummoyne, Eastwood, Gordon and Willoughby for the 1927 election.

[1][2][3] In its previous incarnations, Ryde was a marginal seat that frequently traded hands between Labor and the conservative parties.

At the election in March, the Liberal candidate, Jordan Lane, won by a two-party preferred margin of 50 votes.

The result was so close, a recount was held on 15 April which increased Lane's margin to 54 votes.
