the graph of voter turnout percentages shows a dramatic decline in turnout over the first two decades of the twentieth century, ending in 1920, when the nineteenth amendment to the united states constitution granted women the right to vote across the united states. but in the preceding decades, several states had passed laws supporting women's suffrage. women were granted the right to vote in wyoming in 1869, before the territory had become a full state in the union. in 1889, when the wyoming constitution was drafted in preparation for statehood, it included women's suffrage. thus wyoming was also the first full state to grant women the right to vote. in 1893, colorado was the first state to amend an existing constitution in order to grant women the right to vote, and several other states followed, including utah and idaho in 1896, washington state in 1910, california in 1911, oregon, kansas, and arizona in 1912, alaska and illinois in 1913, montana and nevada in 1914, new york in 1917; michigan, south dakota, and oklahoma in 1918. each of these suffrage laws expanded the body of eligible voters, and because women were less likely to vote than men, each of these expansions created a decline in voter turnout rates, culminating with the extremely low turnouts in the 1920 and 1924 elections after the passage of the nineteenth amendment.
