The article ought to mention that the Black majority population wasn't allowed to vote. --Soman (talk) 17:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not strictly correct. Southern Rhodesia never stopped anybody from voting because of his colour; the small number of black voters was because of qualifications on the voters' roll, which applied to everybody whether he was black, white, green or purple. Most blacks did not reach these, and many who did boycotted, so the black share of the electorate was proportionally very small. I've put a bit in the article briefly explaining this, I hope it helps. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:20, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The unofficial one, was that also in in Southern Rhodesia? If yes, the original source is not correct, and I should request this website to be corrected...--Antemister (talk) 12:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was also in Southern Rhodesia. Yes, that website is incorrect on this. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:05, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
