Timeline of women's suffrage in North Dakota
This is a timeline of women's suffrage in North Dakota. Women's suffrage in North Dakota began while it was still part of the Dakota Territory. In 1879, women in the territory gained the right to vote in school meetings. Later, this was more formalized in 1883, providing women separate ballots for school issues. After North Dakota was a state, suffragists continued to work for full suffrage. A referendum on equal suffrage took place in 1914, but failed. In 1917, women gained the right to vote in municipal and presidential elections . On December 1, 1919, North Dakota became the 20th state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment. 19th century. 1860s. 1868 1870s. 1872 1879 1883 1885 1887 1888 1889 1890s. 1890 1893 1895 1897 1898 1899 20th century. 1900s. 1900 1901 1910s. 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 1919 1920. 1920 1924 1950s. 1958
