In South Dakota, women got the right to vote in 1918.  The first campaign to let women vote in South Dakota was in 1890, but was unsuccessful.  The U.S. Consitution was amended in 1920, granting women in every state the right to vote.\n\nhttp://www.mith2.umd.edu/WomensStudies/ReadingRoom/History/Vote/years-of-hope.html\n\nHope this helps!

Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the poll taxes were eliminated and many blacks who were kept from voting were able to for the first time throughout the South.  The voting age was not changed until 1971 so the legal age to vote was 21 in 1964.  I believe this is the answer you are looking for.

The 15th Amendment to the Constitution Ratified February 3, 1870.  However it was not until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that actually made it easy for all races to vote.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H. Smith

The constitution gives states the right to govern elections, and as all things at the state level, laws regarding elections are passed by the state legislature. The laws are enforced by the Division of Elections of the Department of State.

I completely agree.... a lot of women fought for us for our right to get out there and vote and I think it's a slap in the face for them when women don't use that right\nPlease Vote!!!!

In the early 1900's when women's suffrage began to help them gain the right to vote.It just would have been something awesome to be a part of.  And the 1970's. Just a powerful decade with all the politics, music, rights movements,etc.And Roe Vs. Wade.

No, that's a cop-out by the U.S. Supreme court. But it won't be for long. South Dakota state Senate voted, 23 to 12, to criminalize abortion in their state. It'll get challenged, I guarantee it.

Each state sets it own requirments. I live in North Dakota, all we have to do is show proper ID at the correct polling location. They check it against the previous voter list. If you have moved since the last election, they add you to the list. This is different than most states, but it works here.

To have suffrage is to have the right to vote. It comes from the Latin word suffragium, which means voting tablet or the vote itself, and eventually came to mean the right to vote itself. For instance the Italian provinces were admitted to citizenship "sine suffrago," without the right to vote.

After the Civil war for a short period.\nThen poll taxes and literacy test were introduced in Southern states.  These worked to keep blacks from voting along with threats and acts of violence until the 1960 Civil rights act-when everyone was granted the right to vote, at east in theory.  There were only a few black voters  in Southern states until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which bared discrimination of all types based on race.  But the literacy test and poll taxes stayed in place until the National Voting Rights Act of 1965.  When they were mad entirely illegal.

Giving women the right to vote universally in the United States brought a unity and parity to our society that up to that point had not been experienced. Those many detractors said the opposite would happen, women's suffrage did more uniting than separating.\n\nOne of the failures might be Prohibition which was driven by the Temperance Movement which of course was backed by women.\n\nStill, the right to vote should be universal and it is rather sad it took until the early 20th Century for America to, as a nation, come to that conclusion.
