Prior to 1966, electoral rolls are the nearest thing New Zealanders have to census records and hence they are extremely important and useful for local, family and social historians.

This compendium contains the electoral rolls for all New Zealand districts for 1935 - almost 20,000 pages. Entries are arranged alphabetically within each district. You will find the details of about 900,000 people who were entitled (and registered) to vote. Importantly, the roll includes the names of many women qualified to vote for the election of members of the Parliament of New Zealand. As well as the General Roll, the Supplementary Roll for each district is also included in the compendium.

The electoral districts in 1935 were:

• Volume 1 – Auckland Central, Auckland East, Auckland Suburbs and Auckland West

A section at the end of each electoral district lists the electors whose names had been removed from the main roll after it was closed for printing; also changes in address and occupation which occurred after printing of the main roll.

The following information is included for each entry:

• No. on roll
• Name in full
• Residence
• Occupation or Addition
• Property qualification (if any)
• Electoral District
