Voting Registers - Poll 1835
King's Lynn elected 2 people to represent the Borough in Parliament from at least 1298 until 1885 after which only one person was elected. Before the secret ballot of 1872 Poll Books were published for many contested elections indicating how the voters (only Freemen of the Borough until 1832) voted. See King's Lynn Voting page for all known.
The "First Reform Act" of 1832 expanded the potential number of people qualified to vote. A "Register of Electors" was compiled each year of those eligible to vote in case of an election and this would also include the Freemen of the Borough. This Poll is a sub-set of the electorate as some people did not vote.
Many street names have been abbreviated and some full names will be found in the notes.
