The Voter Registrations in our collection can be of immense genealogical value – many include original signatures. 

Voter Registrations for 1886-1892, 1894-1897 and 1899 were abstracted from the Precinct Registration Books in Port Townsend City Hall.  Not all precincts were found and some years are more complete that others.  Records contain name, age, occupation, birthplace, residency or naturalization; some include address, date of arrival in Port Townsend and/or date of registration.

Voter Registrations for 1913-1914, also from the Precinct Registration Books in Port Townsend City Hall, include name, age, occupation, place of birth, naturalization and residency and includes women over age 21 for about 1800 registered voters.  Records for County residents who voted only in 1914 contain less information.
