The Reform Acts were a series of laws in the United Kingdom aimed at improving the electoral system. The most significant of these was the Reform Act of 1832, which expanded the electorate by lowering property requirements, allowing more men to vote. This act also redistricted parliamentary seats to better represent growing industrial cities. Subsequent Reform Acts, including those in 1867 and 1884, further extended voting rights to more working-class men and, eventually, to women. These acts were crucial in shaping modern democracy in Britain, addressing issues of representation and fairness in the electoral process.
