In this elections were chosen the first representatives in Parliament of the town, after the Reform Act of 1832. the Reform Bill (eventually the Reform Act 1832), was an Act of Parliament that introduced wide-ranging changes to the electoral system of England and Wales. Macclesfield was granted a borough charter in the early 13th century. In principle, the term borough designates a self-governing walled town, although in practice, official use of the term varies widely.
