Electoral rolls are very useful sources of quality information for genealogy. You may get full names, locations, addresses, and occupations. Over a number of electoral periods you can trace your ancestor’s movements. Alan McRobie’s book ‘New Zealand Electoral Atlas’ (1989) is an excellent resource to determine what electorate your ancestor belonged to.
