The year 1915 was significant for Australians as it was the year that compulsory voting was introduced (for referendums - Federally it was introduced in 1924). The Queensland Government state that the population in Queensland in 1915  was approximately 685,000, and this set of Electoral Rolls covering the whole of the state (12 huge volumes -14,800 pages) lists the details of many thousands of them. As it was also during WWI, it is likely that some family members may be missing from the lists if they were involved in the war.

The following information is included for most (but not all) entries:

• Christian name and surname
• Place of Residence
• Occupation
• Freehold or Leasehold
• Date of  Claim (when received by electoral registrar)
• Sex (M/F)

This is a massive work which is now available for all historians to be able to use. High quality scanned images of the whole of the original volumes. This CD has been bookmarked for easy navigation, and pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
