Making a Mark: Women's Suffrage exhibition
A small exhibition showcasing artefacts, items and images of the 1893 Electoral Act and women exercising their voting rights for the first time.
On 19 September 1893, Lord Glasgow signed a new Electoral Act into law, making Aotearoa New Zealand the first self-governing country in which women had the the right to vote.
This small exhibition will be on display at Te Whare Waiutuutu Kate Sheppard House to mark the 129th anniversary of the signing of the electoral act and women's first trip to the polls on 28 November 1893.
Entry to the exhibition is free, admission charges apply for the Te Whare Waiutuutu Kate Sheppard House visitor experience.
