Search South Australia Electoral Rolls

This data set contains the census records for three separate years - 1939, 1941 & 1943 - for the following South Australian regions: Barker, Boothby, Grey, Hindmarsh & Wakefield.

Entries are arranged alphabetically within each subdivision.

Importantly, the roll includes the names of many women qualified to vote for the election of members of the Commonwealth and State Assembly of South Australia.
