The expression "Act to amend the Representation of the People" appears in the title of the Act that was subsequently given the short title "the Representation of the People Act 1832", and that Act was referred to by that expression in 1832. Some Representation of the People Acts are considered to be Reform Acts. Although it has no special status or priority in law, the 1918 Act, dealing with universal voting and other matters of political representation, could be viewed as part of a body of statute law making up the Constitution of the United Kingdom. The title was adopted in other countries of, or formerly part of, the British Empire. * The Representation of the People Act 1832 * The Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832 * The Representation of the People (Ireland) Act 1832 * The
