Being over 21, he should be on the electoral rolls. These are probably at the Lancashire Record Office by now. I don't know if they are sorted by name or by street.

He would only be on the rolls if he was a ratepayer or house owner.  Universal sufferage came in 1918. The rolls are done on a street by street basis.

The Electoral Rolls (books) for Preston are in the Harris Library.

If you know an address or even the area of Preston he lived in you should have a good chance.

Preston had male suffrage long before the rest of England, since the 17thC possibly. Men over 21 who had been resident in the borough for a certain length of time could vote.    Exceptions were paupers and any man who had been convicted of crime. Preston got a special mention in the Great Reform Act 1832. Radical M.P. Henry Hunt represented Preston.
The poll book for 1830s & '40s is in Harris Library, Preston. 4 of my ancestors should be in it but I couldn't find them on a quick look.

If it's Percy MOON b America, as appears in the 1891 and 1901 census at Preston, then he's still in Preston for the 1911 census (looked it up on familysearch, but you could probably find him and further details on other sites).
