I received this information from Findmypast today:
==================================
Delve into new and exclusive electoral records and more
Over 10 million new records have been added to Findmypast this week, allowing you to explore your ancestors' lives in more detail than ever before.
We've added a major new collection of electoral registers from Leicestershire this week, a must-search for anyone with family roots in England's East Midlands. Plus, discover more stories in detailed monumental inscriptions, workhouse records and our latest tranche of newspaper pages.
Here's everything that we've added this Findmypast Friday.
Leicestershire Electoral Registers 1836-1970
A brand new set of 10 million electoral register records, covering 1836-1970, has been added for the English county of Leicestershire. This rich resource is ideal for tracing your ancestors between census years, and can reveal who was eligible to vote, where they lived, and how local communities evolved over time. From bustling Leicester to more rural market towns and villages, each record is a snapshot of local life.
