Notes
- 1 The First Griffith Ministry was constituted on 13 November 1883. As a result, all new ministers had to resign their seats and contest them at ministerial by-elections; all except Charles Dutton, member for Leichhardt, were unopposed. Additionally, on the same day, James Garrick, the member for Moreton, was appointed to the Queensland Legislative Council. Thomas MacDonald-Paterson, who had lost his seat of Rockhampton at the election three months earlier, was elected unopposed for Moreton on 21 November 1883, whilst Dutton was re-elected on 7 December.
- 2 Following a petition alleging electoral fraud by Patrick Perkins or his supporters, on 21 February 1884, the Committee of Elections and Qualifications ruled the election of Patrick Perkins, the member for Aubigny, null and void. James Campbell was elected unopposed at the resulting by-election on 4 March 1884; although Perkins was able to contest the by-election, he decided not to do so.
- 3 On 4 March 1884, the Committee of Elections and Qualifications ruled Frederick Cooper, one of the members for Cook, was disqualified from sitting in the Legislative Assembly. Thomas Campbell, one of the unsuccessful candidates at the 1883 poll, was declared elected. The Brisbane Courier editorial on 27 February, anticipating a new election being called in Cook, said: "There was so much personation on both sides that a new election would be desirable, if it could be assumed that it would be conducted more free from abuse than its predecessor."

- 8 The Additional Members Act 1885 created three new seats: Barcoo, Musgrave and an additional seat each in Townsville and Fortitude Valley. The following members were elected:
- Fortitude Valley (14 September 1885): John McMaster
- Townsville (11 November 1885): William Villiers Brown
- Barcoo (24 November 1885): Frank Reid Murphy
- Musgrave (5 January 1886): Robert Philp
- 9 On 23 January 1886, Archibald Archer, the member for Blackall, left for Europe on a prolonged visit, and resigned his seat. William Pattison won the resulting by-election on 13 April 1886.
