Voters Rolls were created annually from voters lists made of eligible ratepayers, who were reviewed and certified as being entitled to vote at a municipal election. Voters Rolls and lists were known under various titles, including Ratepayers Rolls and lists c1854, Burgess Rolls and lists c1860's, Citizens Rolls and lists and later (from around 1939) Voters Lists and Rolls. This series may comprise of both rolls and lists. For some years rolls may not be extant, and lists have been included, or the lists may be included in a single bound volume. Voters on the final roll were allocated a consecutively running roll number whereas persons on lists are generally unnumbered, although their rate number may be included. Information contained in the roll generally includes: * Number on Roll * Surname in Full * First or other names in full * Residence and post town or post office * Nature of occupation * Owner or occupier * Situation or other description of rateable property * Yearly value of rateable property * Number of votes.

选民名册（Voters Rolls）每年均基于合格纳税选民清单编制，此类清单中的人员需经审核并认证为具备市政选举投票资格的投票人。选民名册与选民清单曾拥有多种称谓，包括1854年前后的纳税人名册（Ratepayers Rolls）及清单、19世纪60年代的市民名册（Burgess Rolls）及清单、公民名册及清单，以及1939年左右起启用的选民清单及名册（Voters Lists and Rolls）。本数据集系列可能同时包含名册与清单。部分年份的名册可能已佚失，此时将以清单替代，或相关清单已被整合至单本合订本中。最终名册上的选民会被分配连续递增的名册编号，而清单上的人员通常无编号，不过可能会附带其纳税编号。名册中通常包含以下信息：* 名册编号 * 完整姓氏 * 全名（包括名字或其他全称） * 居住地址及通信城镇/邮局地址 * 职业性质 * 所有者或占用者 * 应纳税财产的位置或其他说明 * 应纳税财产的年值 * 投票权数量
