1911 North East Lanarkshire By-election
The North East Lanarkshire by-election was a Parliamentary by-election held on 9 March 1911. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system. Electoral history Candidates Although there had been no Labour candidate at the last election, there had been a Labour candidate in January 1910, who finished bottom of the poll.
