1. Register of Voters, with examinations as to their validity (DDPd 11/51) - remarkable in the detail it contains
2. Poll Book - 1768 - (DDKe Box 87 6) - the equivalent of a modern canvas. This document was probably only produced within the last 10 days before the election since Hoghton was only added as a candidate in the last weeks.
3. Foreigners - 1768 - people coming into town either legitimately or taking advantage of the election. The Whigs (Hoghton & Burgoyne) intended to poll the "inhabitants of the town at large" which could, in principle, allow any newcomers the vote.
4. Tallies - 1768 - the final vote. There appears to have been more than one record of the votes - possibly each side wished to keep a record
