Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Short description The Westland Boroughs by-election 1868 was a by-election held in the Westland Boroughs electorate during the 4th New Zealand Parliament, on 3 April 1868.

The by-election was caused by the resignation of incumbent MP William Moorhouse and was won by William Henry Harrison. On nomination day (1 April) Harrison and William Shaw were nominated.[1] The Westland Boroughs electorate was made up of the boroughs of Greymouth and Hokitika.[2] Harrison was a resident of Greymouth and was the editor of the Grey River Argus.[3] Shaw was the current Mayor of Hokitika, and proprietor of the West Coast Times.[4] After a show of hands in favour of Shaw (eight votes to four), Harrison demanded a poll.[1] William Harrison was subsequently elected two days later.[5]
