    Hi Val
    I copied this from Wallaby's HR facts thread.
    Voters Letter Meanings in Electoral Rolls

    Men
    R = Residence qualification
    B = Business premises qualification
    O = Occupation qualification
    D = qualification through wife's occupation

    Women
    Rw = Residence qualification
    Bw = Business premises qualification
    Ow = Occupation qualification
    Dw = Qualification through husband's occupation

    Other
    NM = Naval or Military voter
    a = absent voter
    J = Juror
    SJ = Special Juror

    What the Letters mean:-

    Y printed before a name indicates that the elector will be entitled to vote only at elections held after 1st Oct 1969
    S printed before electors name indicates service voter
    L printed before a name indicates that the elector in NOT entitled to vote in respect of that entry at parliamentary elections
    J printed after electors name indicates liability for service as Juror

    M means Merchant Seaman

      R qualified through residence
      O qualified through Occupation
      D qualified through husbands occupation
      The added W means the code refers to a woman

      You may also find B and Bw
      B means qualification through business premises

              Thanks for that, I was also wondering what the letters meant.

              Id guess residence qualification means they are a rate payer Val?
