1902
Women's suffrage in Australia
Det første valg til parlamentet i det nyoprettede Commonwealth of Australia i 1901 var baseret på valglovene i de seks føderale kolonier, så kvinder, der havde stemmeret og ret til at stille op til parlamentet på koloniniveau (nu delstatsniveau) (dvs. i South Australia, herunder Northern Territory og Western Australia), havde de samme rettigheder ved det australske forbundsvalg i 1901. I 1902 vedtog Commonwealth-parlamentet den ensartede Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, som gjorde det muligt for kvinder på 21 år og derover at stemme ved valg til det føderale parlament. Delstaterne gav snart kvinder over 21 år stemmeret: New South Wales i 1902, Tasmanien i 1903, Queensland i 1905 og Victoria i 1908.
1902
Women's suffrage in Australia
The first election for the Parliament of the newly formed Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 was based on the electoral laws of the six federating colonies, so that women who had the vote and the right to stand for Parliament at a colony (now state) level (i.e., in South Australia including the Northern Territory and Western Australia) had the same rights for the 1901 Australian federal election. In 1902, the Commonwealth Parliament passed the uniform Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, which enabled women 21 years of age and older to vote at elections for the federal Parliament. The States soon gave women over 21 the vote: New South Wales in 1902, Tasmania in 1903, Queensland in 1905, and Victoria in 1908.
