Electoral district of Balmain South

Balmain South was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1894. It was abolished in the 1904 re-distirbution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90 and was reabsorbed into the district of Balmain.[1][2][3][4]
