The Premier John Storey died on 5 October 1921. Between 1920 and 1927 the Legislative Assembly was elected using a form of proportional representation with multi-member seats and a single transferable vote (modified Hare-Clark). Under the provisions of the Parliamentary Elections (Casual Vacancies) Act, casual vacancies were filled by the next unsuccessful candidate on the incumbent member's party list. Tom Keegan was the only unsuccessful Labor candidate at the 1920 election and took his seat on 18 October 1921.
