The Public and Railway Officers seat was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council.[1] [2] [3] The 1903 Constitution Act reserved one seat in the Legislative Assembly to be elected by and from Public Officers and similarly two seats for Railway Officers, and one seat in the Legislative Council for both groups combined. In 1907, these four seats were abolished and such officers voted instead in their electoral district and province and were otherwise prohibited from political campaigning.[4]
