The by-election was called following the invalidation of the preceding 1922 general election result due to irregularities. It was held on 1 May 1923.{{sfn|Scholefield|1950|p=124}} BackgroundWhen the preliminary counts for the [1922 [New Zealand general election|1922 general election]] in the {{NZ electorate link|Oamaru}} electorate were announced, Ernest Lee was ahead of John Andrew MacPherson by just one vote. Once the absentee votes had been counted, it was announced that MacPherson was leading by five votes, but this was subsequently increased to 25 votes. A recount was ordered, during which some irregularities came to light, and Lee asked for a judicial review. The court case was heard at the Supreme Court in Wellington by Sir Robert Stout and Justice Alexander Samuel Adams, who declared the election void and ordered the parties to pay their own expenses.[1] CandidatesTwo candidates contested the seat. John Andrew MacPherson (Liberal Party), who had taken the seat off the incumbent Ernest Lee (Reform Party), again won the vote.{{sfn|Scholefield|1950|p=119}} ResultThe following table gives the election results: {{1923 Oamaru by-election}}MacPherson won the by-election.
