The 1905 Sallian parliamentary election took place on 27 June 1905. The 1st Parliament of Sallia had been dissolved on 2 June 1905 for a parliamentary election. There had been lots of discontent with the Conservative government led by Nicholas Wilson and then Arthur Chapman, and so the election resulted in a landslide victory for the Liberal Party led by James Cooper. Chapman actually lost his seat to the Liberal candidate, but did not resign as Leader of the Conservative Party, promising to fight a by-election when one came and win. The 2nd Parliament of Sallia first met on 14 July 1905.
Campaign
Campaigning began following the dissolution of the 1st Parliament of Sallia on 2 June 1905. The Conservatives campaigned mostly on economic issues, the Liberals campaigned on economic and social issues, the Republicans campaigned on changing the political system to a presidential one, and the Labour Representation Alliance campaigned on social issues.

Aftermath
As a result of the election, the Leader of the Conservative Party, Nicholas Wilson, formed a government and became the first Prime Minister. He hadn't run for Parliament, and soon found that it was ineffective to run a government without having a seat in Parliament. After losing a by-election on 8th August 1902, Wilson resigned as Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party, and was replaced in both roles by the Parliamentary Leader of the Conservative Party, Arthur Chapman, who became the second Prime Minister of Sallia.
Chapman dissolved Parliament on 2 June 1905 in compliance with the law for a parliamentary election on 27 June 1905.
