When Did Women Get The Vote In England?

All women over 21 have been able to vote in parliamentary elections in England since 1928. Some women had been eligible since 1918, but voting was limited to women who were over 30 years old and who were either householders or the wives of householders.

The link between the right to vote and owning property or land also applied to men. In fact, men over 21 generally were only given the vote in 1918. Before that, men had to own property or pay rent over a certain limit and as recently as 1911, the electoral registers list only 60 per cent of all men over 21 in the population.

In the 1800s, rules were yet stricter and only men who were land owners qualified. In practice, this meant that only the richest people voted and they were able to keep control of their wealth and have a large influence on local and national politics.

Throughout the period men over the age of 18 were conscripted into WW1, WW2 where many were killed in sacrifice for their country. There were other wars and national Service to contend with as well but it wasn't until 1970 that men over the age of 18 had a chance to vote.

1918

•Women in Britain first won the vote in the year 1918 on the 6th of February.
• Only women over 30 years of age could vote due to the world war one suffrage protests.
•However in the year 1928 all the women in Britain had a priority to vote.

In the 1918 Representation act, Women over 30 were given the right to political suffrage, this was later extended to women over the age of 21
