Electoral Rolls are the nearest thing Australians have to census records, at least at the end of the nineteenth and start of the twentieth century, and hence, they are both extremely important, and useful for local, family and social historians.
The electoral books for Queensland in 1895, which totals about 2500 pages in two volumes, are divided into the electoral districts of Queensland. Arranged alphabetically by district you will find the details of over 75,000 men who resided in Queensland in this era, and who were qualified (and registered) to vote.
In the 19th century, any male aged 21 years or over, who occupied a house, warehouse or shop, who earned £25 per year or more, or who had held a miner’s licence for six months, was entitled to vote. However, people in some occupations, including the police, military and naval services were ineligible to vote. Persons who owned property in several different electoral divisions were entitled to vote in each. Women in Queensland were not given the right to vote until 1905, so they are not included in this electoral roll.
The following information is included for many (but not all) entries:
• Christian Name and Surname
• Qualification (residence, freehold, leasehold or householder)
• Residence or Property
• Age
• Place of Abode
• Occupation
• Particulars of Qualification
• Date When Claim Received by Electoral Register
• Polling District
This is a valuable tool for those with Queensland connections, in helping establish when and where an ancestor was during 1895.

Printed electoral rolls were produced by Electoral Offices to assist in the management of
elections. An electoral roll is a listing of all those residents eligible and registered to vote
in a particular area. The register assists in the voting process and helps to prevent electoral
fraud. Electoral rolls may also be used by the authorities for other purposes, such as to select
people for jury duty.
In the nineteenth century, the management of elections, often under a restricted franchise, was
undertaken by colonial authorities. From 1901, with Federation, the Commonwealth Government
gradually undertook the management of the rolls for both State and Federal elections except for
Western Australia.
Because enrolment was compulsory for all eligible voters (with the exception of Norfolk Island)
there is a strong likelihood that a person can be located.
Until the advent of widespread computers in 1985 which brought about the publication of single
lists on microfiche and hence the easy searching of databases, researchers were somewhat
restricted by the large number of name and the arrangement of the rolls into Divisions (the
Commonwealth term for and electorate). Publishing scanned versions on searchable CDs overcomes
these significant barriers.
High quality scanned images of the whole of each volume of this year's electoral books. This CD
has been bookmarked for easy navigation, and pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed
out if required.
