Cleveland was a county constituency in the North Riding of Yorkshire. ==Electorate== It returned one Member of Parliament to the British House of Commons, using the first past the post voting system. All elections were conducted with a secret ballot, which had been introduced under the Ballot Act 1872. The franchise was initially restricted, and extended on several occasions: * The Representation of the People Act 1884 gave a vote to adult males who met a property qualification; women, and about 40% of men, had no vote * The Representation of the People Act 1918 extended the vote to all adult males and to women over the age of 30 who met certain property qualifications * The Representation of the People Act 1928 allowed women to vote from age 21, on the same terms as men * The Representation of the People Act 1948 abolished the plural votes previously granted to electors who met a property qualification because of their business or shop premises * The Representation of the People Act 1969 lowered the voting age to 18
