Voting is a matter for state laws except when the Constitution sets a specific mandate for federal electors. Nothing in the U.S. Constitution forbid women from voting, but it did not require voting equality by sex until the 19th Amendment. Before then, some western states began permitting women to vote and hold office, state and federal. (Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives from Montana in 1916.)
