This depends on which country, and for what type of elections.

  • New Zealand: 1893. Women gained the right to vote in New Zealand, the first country to grant women's suffrage, before the federal elections of 1902. This started a campaign for women's suffrage around the world.
  • Australia: In 1894, women in South Australia were first granted the right to vote. It was another eighteen years before women were permitted to vote federally (that is, Australia-wide). Women obtained the right to vote and stand for election for both houses of Parliament on 16 June 1902.
  • Finland: Finland is considered to be the pioneer European country in allowing women to have unrestricted rights to both vote and to stand for Parliament. This was granted in 1906.
  • US: 18 August 1920: the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote was passed. On August 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified. Women in general were allowed to vote in local elections from 1910.
  • UK: In 1928 the British Parliament gave women the same voting rights as men. Parliament had previously granted women voting rights with some limitations in 1918.
  • Italy: Italian women voted for the first time in 1946 June.
  • Mexico: Mexican women were granted the vote in 1953.
  • Tunisia: Women in voted in Tunisia in elections for the first time in 1957.
  • Bahrain: It was only in 2001 that Bahrain granted Bahranian women the right to vote.

    Few countries still do not allow women to vote.
