William Tulloch
From Shetland History Online
(Redirected from William Arthur Alexander Tulloch)
William Arthur Alexander Tulloch (b. 2 September 1858, Lerwick, d. 2 July 1943, Lerwick) was clerk of the Lerwick Harbour Trust (now Lerwick Port Authority) and also a County Councillor for Lerwick North from 1901 until 1919, losing the 1919 election.
William first stood as a Councillor in an 1896 Aithsting by-election, but ended up receiving zero votes again victor George Johnston's 56. That means that even he didn't vote for himself. The by-election had two spoiled ballots, and we can speculate that he spoiled as a form of protest. Nonetheless, a unique event.
