Since 1983, an election for Speaker of the House of Representatives is held when the House first convenes after a general election, or when a sitting speaker dies, resigns, or is removed from the position. Before 1983, a new Speaker was chosen at the start of every parliamentary year by the monarch, who usually selected the nominee put forward by the House.
