Scarborough electoral registers

[slf28]

Hello, can anyone confirm if there are electoral registers for Scarborough covering the 1870's and 1880's, and if so, where they can be accessed?

Without checking I would suggest Scarborough Library or the North Yorkshire Archives at North Allerton would hold copies of them
Cheers

Scarborough didn't become a constituency until 1917.

Prior to that is was part of The North Riding of Yorkshire Constituency, Cleveland & Whitby divisions from 1885
