The Representation of the People Act granted women over 30 the right to vote, as long as they were married to or a member of Local Government Register. It also extended menâs suffrage to the right for all men to vote over the age of 21, and abolished most property qualifications for men. Women were granted suffrage equal to men in 1928 under the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise Act) 1928. The age for women to vote was lowered to 21, and property qualifications reduced to the same as men, at this point barely notable.
