The Minnesota legislature ratifies the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, granting women the right to vote. Prior to this federal amendment, the state's women had been permitted to vote only in elections for school officials and library officials, since 1876 and 1898, respectively. Women had been permitted to vote for presidential electors since March 24, 1919, but a presidential election allowing them to exercise that right was not held until 1920.
