“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”
Please join us and other Coloradans in celebrating the Centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment! Passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the amendment secured the vote for women nationwide. But did you know that women in Colorado could already vote by that time? Learn more about Colorado's unique experience with women's suffrage by digging into the Encyclopedia's commemorative content collection, including dozens of existing and upcoming articles, photographs, timelines, and more.
