"Britain, Absent Voters Lists 1918-1921 Browse" was introduced to enable browsing through the records. Additionally there appear to be some Absent Voters Lists within the findmypast database “England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1832-1932” (located in Census, Land & Surveys/Electoral Rolls) as a researcher here found a 1931 AVL record which showed a soldier’s unit and number.<ref>AdrianB38.

Ancestry currently (December 2015) contains one Absent Voters List database, Birmingham, [[British Army#Miscellaneous online sources|see below]]. In addition Ancestry contains many electoral registers, see [[British Army#Miscellaneous online sources|Miscellaneous online sources below]], at least one of which appears to contain an AVL.
