« on: Monday 18 April 05 13:06 BST (UK) »
Can we count on your vote, sir?

In 1901:
 
Ada Voter, 31,  Seaton, Yorkshire, Wife,  Seaton  Yorkshire   
Charles E Voter, 2 months  Seaton, Yorkshire,  Son,  Seaton  Yorkshire   
Ellen Voter, 1,  Seaton, Yorkshire,  Daughter  Seaton  Yorkshire   
Fredrick Voter, 7,  Seaton, Yorkshire, Son,  Seaton  Yorkshire   
John E Voter, 50,  Newport, Monmouth,  Head  Seaton  Yorkshire   
Norah Voter, 4,  Seaton, Yorkshire, England Daughter  Seaton  Yorkshire 

(so that's everyone except Norah, who will probably be abstaining) :)

I forgot to say that in 1901 there were also 5 FIBS and 5 PORKS. But I have only looked at England. Who knows what was  happening in the other parts of the United Kingdom. ???

I must have a go at this............1901.............two BALLOTS.....a one hundred per cent increase on 1881.
If elected I promise to do away with Ballots.......said a candidate,we cannot sustain this increase.
Fortunately,the fourty three POLLING did not listen to him.....and he lost his deposit
