The
1832 Reform Act expanded the number of voters in the United Kingdom. In the
boroughs the right of voting was vested in all householders paying a yearly rental of £10 and, subject to one year residence qualification £10 lodgers (if they were sharing a house and the landlord was not in occupation). In the
counties, the franchise was granted to: • 40 shilling freeholders • £10 copyholders • £50 tenants • £10 long lease holders • £50 medium lease holders Borough freeholders could vote in the counties if their freehold was between 40 shillings and £10, or if it was over £10 and occupied by a tenant. == References ==
