Notes: Both Jackett and Mitchell had been endorsed as UAP candidates in 1938 when Mitchell was first elected. Denied endorsement in 1941, Jackett ran as a self-styled Nationalist UAP candidate.
Corrections: Jackett is shown here as an Independent UAP candidate where Hughes and Graham (1975) listed him as the election's only Nationalist UAP candidate.
