Local elections?[edit]

I came upon this for P.E.I.:

  • 1888 Unmarried women in Charlottetown win the right to vote in municipal elections.
  • 1892 Unmarried women in Summerside win the right to vote in municipal elections.
  • 1899 Women win the right to sit on School Boards in Charlottetown and Summerside.
  • 1917 Women with close relatives in the armed forces win the right to vote in federal elections.
  • 1918 Women over the age of 21 who are Canadian citizens win the right to vote in federal elections, with the exception of Indigenous women.
  • 1922 Island women win the right to vote in provincial elections, with the exception of Indigenous women.

What about NL? Rwood128 (talk) 22:53, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

St John's Municipal Councilin 1921 (Furlong, p. 154). Were there any other councils before 1925? Incidentally, Furlong gives 1924 (p. 155): which is correct?
