Apart from the last year or so, I don't believe there is any searchable name index for the Electoral Rolls, so I'm not sure where this will get you. If you know the address you can ask to see the Roll at the main Library for the area, and this will tell you who lived there, but I don't think you can search on a name to find an address. If anyone knows otherwise then please shout out.

Depending on the area Electoral Rolls were kept from mid to late 1800's onwards. To find out what years are available for the area that you wish to look in, check out www.familia.org.uk for the local studies library that you are interested in. There will be contact information available when you choose the area you are interested in.
