Goldfields South was a former electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1859 to 1880, including the goldfields within several southern electorates. The New South Wales Legislative Assembly is elected from 93 single-member electorates called districts. The Legislative Assembly, or lower house is one of the two chambers of the Parliament of New South Wales. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. Rolls were not kept for goldfields seats, voters being able to establish their right to vote by presenting either a mining licence or business licence in a proclaimed gold field that had been held for at least six months. Voters could also appear on the roll for general districts, but were prevented from voting in both their resident general district and the overlaying goldfields district. [1]
