Title: Re: lost post South Australia Electoral Roll
Post by: hesaidshesaid on Thursday 28 January 10 09:53 GMT (UK)

Hello

I posted a message in January which I can't find now, has it been deleted.

Since then I have found out why South Australia is not accesible like NSW, VIC, WA, QLD etc. Electoral Rolls 1903-1954.

Apparently the Historical Society in S.A refused to let there Rolls be accessed like the rest of Australia.

It's a shame, lets hope one day whoever is in charge of records will change there mind.

thanking you kindly

There is another post along similar lines which indicated that it was more to do with privacy policy in that state.  Will see if I can find it for you. 

What was the source of your information and if it is online, could you please provide the url.

Cheers
