Scottish Electoral Register query

[Giddysue]

There is probably an extremely simple explanation that I've failed to understand so here goes.........

On Electoral Registers of Aberdeen City and Former Counties of Aberdeenshire 1935 -1936 for Chanonry, St. Machar shows some of the residents' names as having the letter P after the name.

Please could some kind person explain what this letter represents?

Many thanks, stay safe and take care.

P is for persons entitled to vote in Parliamentary Elections only.

Go to the St Machar ward 4 volume and enter page 168 in the set of 584 pages. That will take you to the cover page.

Many thanks, so I presume all the residents with P were over 21 years of age!

Yes. After 1928 you can assume a person male or female and of any marital status is 21 or over.
