Best Answer

Women in Canada obtained the right to vote in a sporadic fashion. Federal authorities granted them the franchise in 1918, more than two years after the women of Manitoba became the first to vote at the provincial level in 1916. Québec women were denied the provincial vote until 1940. Indigenous women were not enfranchised federally until 1960. Source: The Canadian Encyclopedia - womens-suffrage.

Federal

Women were given the right to vote federally as of 1918 May 24.

Provincial

Women were first given full voting rights in Canada, in Manitoba as of January 28, 1916.

Saskatchewan: March 14, 1916

Alberta: April 19, 1916

BC: April 5, 1917

Ontario: April 12, 1917

Nova Scotia: April 26, 1918

The Military Voters act of 1917 gave women working in the military and those serving as nurses the vote.

As of 1917 September 20, the War-Time Elections Act gave women whose family were serving in the war the right to vote in their place.

The Act to confer the Electoral Franchise upon Womenwas passed in Canada as of May 24, 1918. Quebec was the last to ratify this in 1940.

Municipal Voting

Widows and unmarried women were granted the right to vote in municipal elections in Ontario in 1884. Such limited franchises were extended in other provinces at the end of the 19th century, but bills to enfranchise women in provincial elections failed to pass in any province until Manitoba finally succeeded in 1916.
