Poll Books are the books in which are recorded the votes cast at parliamentary elections. They contain the name and address of the voter and often the address of the 'Freehold' which entitled the voter to his vote. Voters Lists and Freeholders Registers give similar information to the Poll Books but do not record how people voted at a particular election.
From 1727 to 1793 only Protestants with a freehold worth at least 40 shillings per year had a vote. Between 1793 and 1829, both Protestants and Roman Catholics with 40 shillings freeholds had votes. In 1829, all 40 shillings Freeholders lost the vote.
