If so, > do you know where the voter registration records are stored? >> Thanks! Patricia I have a copy of a list of those who voted on a presidential election in 1797 (Frederick Co., MD). Of interest, it is apparent , looking at the names (as they voted during several days) that friends & relatives came to Frederick towne together and voted about the same time. Morris

I don't have a date for you, but the present-day system (voters registered in advance, with names, addresses, party affiliation, etc.) is surely of relatively recent origin. I think what you're looking for is called a "poll book." If any from Frederick County (other than the one cited by Mr. LeFever) survived (not a certainty), they might be at the courthouse, or might have been transferred to the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis.
