There was a General Election in 1918. All those away from their place of residence (so including all men in the army) were listed on Absent Voters Lists. These usually recorded the man's regiment, number and rank at the time, as well as his home address.
A database of 50,000 names compiled from the Leeds Absent Voters List of the Leeds Electoral Roll 1914/1918.
An act of Parliament passed on 6 February, 1918 allowed service men to register in order to obtain a vote in a constituency of their home address. The first lists were published on 15 October, 1918 from applications received up to 18 August, 1918. The second list was published on 15 April, 1919. The index provided is a combination of the two, the details given are those supplied by the men themselves and not by their dependants.
Men had to be over 21 years of age to vote, therefore men under 21 in the armed forces are not included in this database. Please note that the men were not given a unique regimental number until 1920, it is therefore possible to find two men with the same number, but in different regiments.
