“UK university constituencies, created in 1603, let graduates vote for university seats in addition to their residence vote, by single transferable vote from 1918; they were abolished with other plural voting by the Representation of the People Act 1948, effective from the 1950 dissolution.”

Context. This education-based extra vote is the closest real counterpart to Mill's scheme, though it was not designed on his principles.
