In order to be a registered voter a person had to have a freehold property. A freeholder was a per son who possessed his estate, whether i n land or houses, . in fee (i. e. for himself and his heirs fvrever), or on a lease for one or more lives. Since 1793 catholics who held such freeholds were eligible to vote. The number of regi stered voters in Co .Cavan in 1826 is officially given as 7814, of whom 486 wer e £50 freeholders, 218 £20 freeholders and the rest, 7, 110 fort y-shi lling freeholders. Almost all the forty shilling freeholders were leasehold freeholders. A landlord created these freeholds pr imar i ly i f not exclusively in order t o create hi s political power, f or it was the accept ed pract ice that a freeholder cast his vote f or hi s landlord or f or the person whom the landl ord designated. If he vot ed aga inst his landl ord ' s desite, he could easily find himself 1. denied a renewal on the death of t he person on whose life he had t aken the lease 2. called on t o pay arrears of r ent. It was t hus a hazar dous venture eSPeci a lly on t he pa rt of a f orty shilling freeholder, who was poor and utter ly dependent on his patch of land, t o d1sobey his land lor d ' s wi sh on election day. Vot es had t o b~ gi ven openl y in the presence of t he agents of t he candidates. A landlord could t hus infalli bly know how his t enant voted.
