Women first gained the right to vote in South Australia.It was also the fourth place in the world to allow women to vote. The bill allowing this was passed on 18 December 1894, although a letter from the Attorney-General advising Governor Kintore that Royal Assent would be required to enact the Bill, is actually dated 21 December 1894.
Queen Victoria gave Royal Assent on 2 February 1895, thus enacting the Bill. The first election after women gained the vote was the Legislative Council election which occurred on 25 April 1896.
