  • A by-election was held for the House of Representatives of Howland constituency of Clarke on June 29, 1957. This was triggered by the resignation of former Prime Minister and Independence Party leader Ben Goodwin, which occurred on May 20, 1957. Elections to the Senate of Howland took place on the same day. It was the first by-election to be held in Howland. It was contested on the same boundaries drawn for Clarke at the 1955 House election. At that election, the Independence Party won the seat over the Social Democrats with 67.33 percent of the vote on a two-party-preferred basis, making it Independence's safest seat. The primary vote was also in favor of Independence, at 53.17 percent, meaning the incumbent, Ben Goodwin, didn't need to go to preferences to win the seat. The writ for the by-election was issued on May 23, 1957, with the rolls closing on June 2, 1957. Candidate nominations closed on June 5, 1957, and were announced the following day.
