In Britain, these events typically took place one day after the construction of a hustings, and their boozy nature is highlighted in some “Humors” by William Hogarth. Until 1984, Australia’s indigenous population was exempt from a law making participation in these events mandatory. The Chartists demanded that these events take place (*) annually.

Greater participation in these events was secured through the three Reform Acts in the UK, the first of which eliminated Rotten Boroughs. For 10 points, name these events where people cast ballots. ■END■
