[edit] Summary

United Kingdom general election results for Rotherham constituency. © Jeremy Atherton 2006.

[edit] Notes

The Background colour indicates the party of the sitting MP at any given year.

Elections held in 1895 and 1906 do not appear on this graph. Only one candidate (Liberal) stood at each of these elections and so no votes were cast, the candidate being elected unopposed. Dashed lines indicate the missing elections.

Graph drawn with IGOR Pro v.5.04
