How did your Ancestors vote? Between 1696 and 1872 (the introduction of the secret ballot) the returning officer of every county election (and from 1711 for every borough election) had to return a copy of the poll recording who voted for whom. These lists can be a very useful genealogical resource and can lead to other records.
