A general election for the [[New South Wales Legislative Assembly]] was held in the state of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], on Saturday 1 May 1976. The result was a narrow win for the [[Australian Labor Party (New South Wales Branch)|Labor Party]] under [[Neville Wran]]—the party's first in the state in more than a decade.

== Issues ==
The incumbent [[Liberal Party of Australia (New South Wales Division)|Liberal]]-[[National Party of Australia – NSW|Country Party]] coalition had lost its longtime leader, [[Robert Askin|Sir Robert Askin]], at the end of 1974. Upon Askin's retirement in January 1975, Eric Willis was seen as the favourite to take the premiership. However, despite Askin's initial support, Willis refused his help, preferring to gain the leadership on his own merits. Askin then put his support behind the Minister for Lands, [[Tom Lewis (Australian politician)|Tom Lewis]].<ref>{{cite news |url= https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=FfpjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=WuYDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7064,1463765&dq=eric+willis&hl=en |title=Willis Premier if he let me help |newspaper=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=28 August 1975 |page=2 |via=Google News Archive|access-date=7 January 2011}}</ref> Willis, sure he had support, refused to campaign, and the party put its support behind Lewis, leading to his election to Premier. However, a leadership spill followed in January 1976, and Willis then became Premier.

When former Minister Steve Mauger resigned on 27 January 1976, sparking a by-election in his seat of [[Electoral district of Monaro|Monaro]] in May, and early polls had indicated a large swing to Labor, Willis announced an early election on 1 May, thereby cancelling the by-election in the hope of preventing a larger move of voters against the government. <ref name="book2">{{cite book| last =Bramston| first =Troy | title =The Wran era| publisher =Federation Press| year =2006| location =Sydney| page =20|no-pp=y| isbn = 978-1-86287-600-2 }}</ref> 

Wran successfully emerged from the shadow of the defeated [[Gough Whitlam|Whitlam]] Labor government at a federal level. Labor's campaign focussed largely on the leader himself, what Australians call a "Presidential" style campaign. The state party had undergone a long process of renewal, and emerged with strong moderate credentials. Labor also offered an alternative to a long-serving government widely perceived as corrupt.

Wran's campaign slogan, "Let's put the state in better shape," delivered by the leader and key spokesmen [[Peter Cox (politician)|Peter Cox]] and [[Syd Einfeld]], resonated with voters.

The election was in doubt for several days.  Ultimately, the seats of [[Electoral district of Gosford|Gosford]] and [[Electoral district of Hurstville|Hurstville]] fell to Labor by only 74 and 44 votes respectively.  Had the Coalition retained these seats, it would have stayed in power with a one-seat majority.  As it turned out, the loss of Gosford and Hurstville gave Wran a one-seat majority.
