Italy

The first time italian women were able to vote was in 1946 (June 2, at the Republic VS Monarchy referendum), not in 1945, as stated previously. I'm italian and hope not to be wrong: I corrected the entry. -- Progettualita (not logged in)

Afghanistan

Afghanistan's women gained suffrage in 1919, according to a more credible source, Amnesty International [1]

Is there a reason Afghanistan is listed under 1963 and 1965? If so it should be specified, if not...fixed?

I deleted the entry under 1963 and left 1965 based on [2] and cited that page.

Ireland

According to what I can find, it appears women were given the vote on a franchise equal to that of men in 1922 and not 1928 as this article suggests, does anyone have any evidence that contradicts this or should I just go ahead and change the year?

"In 1922, under the provisions of the Irish Free State Constitution, all Irish citizens over the age of twenty-one were enfranchised."http://multitext.ucc.ie/d/Suffragette

"1922: Suffrage for all adults over 21 introduced under the Free State Constitution." http://www.fczb.de/projekte/wid_db/CoRe/Ireland.htm

Citation 17

citation 17 (linked next to "Grand Duchy of Tuscany" under 1848) is an article about a new years dive acheiving a Guinness record. So I believe it's completely irrelevant here. 89.242.72.114 (talk) 21:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Racial restriction in Australia

Hello all

I have fixed some incorrect information on racial restrictions on voting (male and female) in Australia. Basically, before federation the colonies of Western Australia and Queensland had racial restrictions on voting, exluding Asians, Africans and Aboriginal Australians from voting. There were no such restrictions in the other colonies. When women gained the vote, these racial restrictions still applied. In 1901 Australia federated and there was a new federal government. In 1902, the federal government imposed racial restrictions on voting at the Federal level. I have tried to clarify this as the previous wording confused voting rights at the state level and federal level which in most cases were different. In summary, by 1910 all adult women had the vote in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. Most adult women had the vote in Queensland, Western Australia and at the federal level but with racial restrictions expressly or effectively excluding Aboriginal Australians, Asians, Africans and Pacific Islanders. These racial restrictions were removed in the 1960s.
