All 75 seats in the House of Representatives, and 18 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Labor Party, led by Prime Minister Andrew Fisher, was defeated by the opposition Commonwealth Liberal Party under Joseph Cook, marking the second time an Australian Prime Minister was defeated at an election. The new government had a majority of just a single seat, and held a minority of seats in the Senate.Senate results, 1913 election It would last only 15 months, suffering defeat at the 1914 election.The 1913 election was held in conjunction with six referendum questions, none of which were carried. According to David Day, Andrew Fisher’s biographer, “it was probably the timing of the referenda that was most responsible for the disappointing election result” for the Labor Party.BOOK, David Day, David Day (historian), Andrew Fisher: Prime Minister of Australia, 2008, Fourth Estate, 279, Results House of Representatives {{See also|Results of the 1913 Australian federal election (House of Representatives)}}File:Australian House of Representatives, 1913-correction.png -
