The electoral register, which came into force on varying dates over the years, had a qualifying date that was 31 July from 1832 to 1918 (but 15 July in 1878-1885) and subsequently varied considerably. The register then remained valid until the next list was published. For the genealogist the qualifying date is the most important as the person may have died or moved away after that date. | The electoral register, which came into force on varying dates over the years, had a qualifying date that was 31 July from 1832 to 1918 (but 15 July in 1878-1885) and subsequently varied considerably.
