Voters, Poll, Freemen and Freeholders Records are lists of individuals
entitled to vote, or actually voting at elections. They are usually arranged
on a county, city or borough basis. Freeholders were substantial farmers of
the Irish counties who had the right to vote based on the type of tenure by
which they held their land and the value of the land. Freemen or free citizens
of cities and boroughs had votes in the elections of those cities and
boroughs. In cities, freeholders who qualified through their land as well as
freemen who qualified through their trade voted in elections, but usually
borough elections only involved freemen.
