INTRODUCTION.

I herewith submit a bulletin prepared under the direction of Miss Grace M. Sherwood, Legislative Reference Director.

The material covers all present constitutional provisions in the several states, relative to the qualifications of voters at general and special elections. In several states statutory sections have been given, where the qualifications prescribed are additional to, or explanatory of, those contained in the constitution. All provisions, constitutional and statutory, relative to female suffrage are either referred to or included in full. Tables are appended.
