选民登记册（Voters Rolls）每年基于合格纳税人的选民名单编制，此类名单经审核认证，确认其具备市政选举的投票资格。
选民登记册及相关名单曾有多种称谓：1854年左右称纳税人登记册及名单（Ratepayers Rolls and lists），1860年代称选民登记册及名单（Burgess Rolls and lists），其后改称公民登记册及名单，约1939年起更改为选民名单与登记册（Voters Lists and Rolls）。
本数据集系列同时涵盖登记册与名单两类资料。部分年份的登记册可能已佚失，此时会以对应名单替代；部分名单亦可能被收录于单册合订本中。
最终版登记册上的选民会被分配连续递增的登记册编号，而名单上的选民通常无此类编号，不过可能会附带其纳税人编号。
