- Representation of the People (Ireland) Act 1868
The Representation of the People (Ireland) Act 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. 49) was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom.
It did not alter the overall distribution of parliamentary seats in Ireland ["Moore's Almanack improved: or Will's farmer's and countryman's calendar for the year 1869".
