Third Reform Act

The Third Reform Act of 1884 was a significant change to the UK's voting system, extending the right to vote to many men who previously couldn't participate, particularly rural workers and some agricultural laborers. It expanded the electoral franchise from mainly property owners in cities to a broader cross-section of the male population. This act aimed to make parliamentary representation more fair by increasing democratic participation and reducing disparities between urban and rural areas. While it didn't grant universal suffrage, it was a crucial step toward a more inclusive electoral system.
