Both were therefore required to resign and contest ministerial by-elections on 25 May 1906, at which both were returned.
- 2 Following the 1905 state election, Ministerial member William Eddy, who had won the seat of Coolgardie by 23 votes against Labor's Charles McDowall in a three-candidate contest, faced a by-election after a petition was lodged against his return. He resigned on 27 April 1906, and was returned at the by-election on 9 July 1906 with a majority of 100 against McDowall.

He was defeated by Angwin at the by-election on 13 November 1906, who won 71.37% of the vote.
- 7 Following the 1905 state election, Ministerial member Henry Carson, who had won the seat of Geraldton by 26 votes (Black (1997) notes some sources say 12 votes) against Labor's Thomas Brown, faced a by-election after a petition was upheld against his return on 26 October 1906. He was defeated by Brown at the by-election on 21 November 1906 by 19 votes.
- 8 On 2 November 1906, the Labor member for Mount Leonora, Patrick Lynch, resigned his seat. At the resulting by-election on 13 November 1906, Labor member Julian Stuart was returned unopposed.
