Chartism was a political movement of the 1830s set up by working men. The Chartists campaigned to reform the British electoral system, believing that all men over the age of 21 should have the right to vote. They submitted the People's Charter to Parliament in 1837, making six specific demands. These were the six demands:  Were the Universal suffrage, Abolition of property qualifications for members of parliament, Annual parliamentary elections, Equal representations, Payment of members, Vote by ballot.  The People's Charter has been endorsed by the following Trade Unions: the  RMT , the  CWU , the  FBU , the  PCS , the  NUT , the  NUJ , the  BFAWU  POA (Scotland), the  UCU , and the  TUC .

The Reform Bills were a series of proposals to reform voting in the British parliament. These include the Reform Acts of 1832 , 1867 , and 1884 . The bills reformed voting by increasing the electorate for the House of Commons and removing certain inequalities in representation. The 1832 Reform Act was the most controversial of the electoral reform acts passed by the Parliament. The Act reapportioned Parliament in a way fairer to the cities of the old industrial north, which had experienced tremendous growth. This act also gave the power of voting to those lower in the social and economic scale, for the act extended the right to vote to any man owning a household worth £10, adding adding 210,000 voters to an electorate of 435,000. As many as one man in five now had the right to vote. For many conservatives , this effect of the bill, which allowed the middle classes to share power with the upper classes, was revolutionary.
