the London Corresponding Society (founded 1792) argued for expanded suffrage. Also see: Radicalism (historical). The vote was restricted to adult males and also by property qualifications, but never by race. The first black person known to have voted in a British election was Ignatius Sancho who qualified in Westminster in 1774 and 1780. The Reform Act 1832 extended the vote to landed middle class men. Incremental reform continued with various Reform Acts, The Representation of the People Act 1918 ended property qualification for male suffrage. The Equal Suffrage Act 1928 ended property qualifications for female suffrage. Citizens of Crown Colonies did not have the right to vote for the government of the British Empire. Colonial Jamaica sometimes had partial privileges to elect leaders. The Constitution of Jamaica provides for partial voting rights. The British monarchy appointed all leaders of Colonial Sierra Leone until 1953; the 1962 Sierra Leonean general election was the country's first election with universal suffrage. The West Indies Federation (1958–1962) was slated to become autonomous but never did; a number of its member states have since achieved autonomy. Non-UK Commonwealth citizens residing in the UK have full voting rights as they are recognised as citizens. Prior to the British Nationality Act 1981 Commonwealth Citizens were officially called British Subjects and always counted as such in law. When the first British Nationality Act 1948 was passed it reconfirmed this right and also statutorily defined citizenship rights for British Protected Persons which before 1948 was granted solely by royal prerogative unlike for British Subject/Commonwealth Citizens. Republic of Ireland citizens, although not Commonwealth Citizens still enjoy full voting rights in the UK, occupying the unique position of Foreigners with British subject hood. South Africa Cape Colony The Cape Qualified Franchise restricted voting by property ownership but not explicitly by race. In 1853, the Queen authorized a Cape Colony parliament, which drafted a Constitution with no explicit racial restriction. Cape Colony's "Responsible Government" Constitution, issued in 1872, explicitly prohibited racial discrimination. Under Prime Minister Gordon Sprigg, the Colony passed the 1877 "Registration Bill", disenfranchising Black communal land owners. The Franchise and Ballot Act of 1892 raised the threshold for suffrage from £25 to £75, accomplishing de facto disenfranchisement of many non-White voters South Africa The Representation of Natives Act, 1936 moved Black South Africans onto separate voter rolls Apartheid in South Africa refers to a period of heavily legislated white supremacy
