Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Registers of Parliamentary electors were the creation of the 1832 Reform Act. They have been compiled annually since 1832, except 1916 - 1917 and 1940-1944 (when the most recent register was used), and 1919 - 1926 when registers were compiled twice yearly. From 1918 to 1919 separate absent voters’ registers were compiled for the separate constituencies and in 1945 - 1949 civilian and service registers were compiled separately for each constituency. Until 1974 the registers were compiled on a constituency basis; thereafter by District Council area.
