Transvaal Voter Rolls

12 June 1929: Transvaal 55 electoral divisions
17 May 1933: Transvaal 57 electoral divisions
18 May 1938: Transvaal 60 electoral divisions

The list of electoral divisions is: Barberton, Benoni, Bethal, Bezuidenhout, Boksburg, Brakpan, Brits, Carolina, Christiana, Delarey, Denver, Ermelo, Fordburg, Germiston, Gezina, Heidelberg, Hospitaal, Jeppes, Johannesburg (North), Klerksdorp, Krugersdorp, Langlaagte, Lasberg, Lichtenburg, Lydenburg, Magaliesberg, Marico, Middelburg, Noord-Oos Rand, Parktown, Pietersburg, Potchefstroom, Potgietersrus, Pretoria (Central), Pretoria (District), Pretoria (East), Pretoria (West), Roodepoort, Rustenburg, Springs, Standerton, Troyeville, Turffontein, Ventersdorp, Vereeniging, Von Brandis, Vrededorp, Wakkerstroom, Waterberg, Witbank, Witwatersberg, Wolmaransstad, Wonderboom, Yeoville, Zoutpansberg, Zwartruggens

Hints

The image links below will take you to the first image of each film. You will need to navigate through the film to find the relevant electoral division.
The text search link will take you to the FamilySearch Labs, which uses optical character recognition to enable searching on the images. You can enter the name of the person in the yellow search box. Keep in mind OCR is not foolproof, and you may need to limit the characters or use wildcards to strengthen your search.
