Electoral rolls or voting registers list people who were eligible to vote. Information listed in these records varies from place to place but generally includes the name of the voter and a place of residence. Some registers also list an occupation, when a person obtained citizenship, and occasionally other details.

In Australia and New Zealand electoral rolls usually list the names of the voters, residences, and occupations. | Electoral rolls or voting registers list people who were eligible to vote.
