- “Successive” – To qualify for voting before 1918, a voter had to live in, or own, property of sufficient value for a year. If a voter moved during the electoral year, his right to vote could be carried forward to his next address. This would be indicated in the next register with a note ‘house successive’ and the previous address would be given. This did not work forwards – if he then moved on to another address the electoral register does not tell you where he moved to if you only have the old address. After 1918 as the franchise was no longer property based, this helpful note was dropped.
