FIND YOUR ANCESTORS IN NEW ZEALAND, ELECTORAL ROLLS 1853-1935


NEW ZEALAND ELECTORAL ROLLS, 1853-1864, 1865-1875, 1878, 1881, 1893, 1896, 1911,
1935



In 1852 the British Parliament passed the New Zealand Constitution Act,
establishing a General Assembly (Parliament) comprising a Legislative Council
appointed by the Crown, and a House of Representatives, which was to be elected
every five years.The six Provinces also had an elected Provincial Council.



New Zealand’s first parliamentary elections were held in 1853. Not everyone had
the right to vote in these early elections, but over the next half century New
Zealand became one of the most democratic nations in the world.

The right to vote was defined according to sex, age, nationality and the
possession of property in New Zealand. People known as 'aliens', namely people
who were not British e.g. Chinese, were specifically excluded. Anyone who had
been convicted of treason, a felony, or another serious offence, were also
excluded, unless he had either received a free pardon or completed his sentence.

Maori men were allowed to register and vote, but in reality most were excluded
because their land was possessed communally, rather than under individual title.
Men who owned or leased property in different electorates were able to enrol and
vote in each of them, a practice known as plural voting. Until 1881 elections in
different seats were held on different days, which made it simpler for those men
who qualified for plural voting.

Apart from a tiny minority of ‘aliens’ and prison inmates, most of the non-Maori
males excluded from voting, were recent arrivals and transient workers such as
farm labourers, timber workers and seafarers. They generally lived in boarding
houses, tents, shacks, or aboard ship, and did not possess property, so they
were not considered to be genuine settlers.

This compendium contains the electoral rolls for all New Zealand districts for
1935 - almost 20,000 pages. Entries are arranged alphabetically within each
district. You will find the details of about 900,000 people who were entitled

qualified to vote for the election of members of the Parliament of New Zealand.
As well as the General Roll, the Supplementary Roll for each district is also

A section at the end of each electoral district lists the electors whose names
had been removed from the main roll after it was closed for printing; also
changes in address and occupation which occurred after printing of the main
roll.

The following information is included for each entry:

•No. on roll
•Name in full
•Residence
•Occupation or Addition
•Property qualification (if any)
•Electoral District

Please note that the 1935 rolls are PDF digitisations, so after searching,
please check that your results are from "Newspapers, books & directories" (this
will be on the top left hand of your search results screen).

These are a great genealogy resource for anyone with New Zealand ancestry who is
exploring their family history or building a family tree.
