Results of the 1962 Western Australian state election (Legislative Assembly)
The 1962 Western Australian state election, held on 31 March 1962, determined the composition of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia. The election resulted in a victory for the Liberal-Country Party coalition led by Premier David Brand, securing them a second term in office.
The Australian Labor Party, led by Opposition Leader Albert Hawke, experienced a significant swing against them, losing several seats. The Country Party maintained its strength as a key component of the coalition government.
The election saw a redistribution of electoral boundaries prior to the poll, which altered the landscape of several electorates. Voter turnout was relatively high, reflecting the intense competition between the major parties.
Following the election, David Brand continued as Premier, solidifying his position as a long-serving and influential figure in Western Australian politics. The Liberal-Country Party coalition continued to implement its policies focused on economic development and infrastructure projects throughout the state. The Labor Party entered a period of review and rebuilding following the election defeat. Detailed seat-by-seat results, vote percentages, and swings are available in official election records and historical archives.
