1931 East Sydney by-election
A by-election was held for the Australian House of Representatives seat of East Sydney on 7 March 1931. This was triggered by the death of Labor MP John West.
The by-election was won by Labor candidate Eddie Ward, who was associated with New South Wales Premier Jack Lang's wing of the party.
This was the last by-election contested by the Nationalist Party as it would be replaced by the United Australia Party later that year.
