Absent Voters List 1918-1921

Transcribed and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Chris Bellers

The absent voters’ lists are registers of eligible voters who were absent from their homes. After Parliament passed the 1918 Representation of the People Act, men between the ages of 19 and 20 who were serving in the armed forces were given the right to vote and could register as absent voters for the first time. Absent voters lists also contain the names of anyone whose work was recognised by the Admiralty, Army Council or Air Council, such as merchant seamen, fishermen and those working for the Red Cross. The registers also include the names of many women over the age of 30 who were serving overseas with the Women’s Auxiliary Army and other women’s services that were supporting the war effort.
