Women in South Australia were the first women in Australia who were granted the right to vote, and this occurred in 1894. The first opportunity arose for them to exercise their right to vote in the election of 1896.
It is usually recognised that this right happened with the passing of a Bill on 18 December 1894. Following this was a letter from the Attorney-General advising Governor Kintore that Royal Assent would be required to enact the Bill, dated 21 December 1894. The Bill was enacted when Queen Victoria gave Royal Assent on 2 February 1895.
Women throughout Australia (with the exception of aboriginal women and immigrants who had not been granted citizenship) obtained the right to vote and stand as candidates for both houses of federal Parliament on 16 June 1902. This applied to the federal election of 1903.
