Parliamentary Constituencies and Their Registers Since 1832

The British Library has a UK-wide collection of electoral registers. This collection remains underused because its existence has not been widely known. The book lists every parliamentary constituency from the Great Reform Act, when registration began, to those established by the latest distribution of seats. Constituencies are listed in a single alphabetical sequence with cross references. Appendices list pre-1832 constituencies and and the British Library's holdings of Irish, Manx and Channel Island registers. An introduction gives the history and background to the franchise, registration and redistribution of seats.
