Electoral registers have been a legal requirement since 1832. They are used to register every citizen eligible to vote. In 1928, the legal age to vote was reduced to 21 for all men and women. The voting age was changed again in 1971 to 18. This database of electoral registers was created by 192.com. You may discover multiple records for one person, especially if they have moved. In the Useful links and resources section we have provided links to records around the same time period such as the civil registration records of births, marriages, and deaths. Add each record you find to your family tree and build a comprehensive profile of your relative.
