Freemen (Admission) Act 1763

The Freemen (Admission) Act 1763, sometimes called the Freeman (Admission) Act 1763, was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain. The act withheld the right to vote in parliamentary elections, in those boroughs where honorary freemen could vote, from any freemen admitted to the freedom within twelve months of the first day of the election; it did not affect the rights of ordinary freemen, admitted by the custom of the borough in question. London and Norwich were excluded from the restrictions.

Subsequent developments
The whole act so far as unrepealed was repealed by section 47(1) of, and the eighth schedule to, the Representation of the People Act 1918 (7 & 8 Geo. 5. c. 64). == Notes ==
