NEW ZEALAND ELECTORAL ROLL - 1893 - TE PUKE AND DISTRICT

NEW ZEALAND ELECTORAL ROLL
1893
TE PUKE AND DISTRICT

On 19 September 1893 New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to give women the vote. (Both Wyoming and Pitcairn Island had already given women the vote)

"The General Elections have come and gone. For the first time the women of New Zealand have joined with men in choosing members of Parliament, and we have waited with bated breath for the deluge of calamities which it was prognosticated would follow the admission of women into the political arena."

The writer of this passage was Kate Sheppard (on the New Zealand $5.00 note), who led the campaign for women's suffrage and organised a series of huge petitions to Parliament. In 1891 over 9,000 signatures were gathered; in 1892 almost 20,000; and finally in 1893, nearly 32,000 - almost a quarter of the adult European female population in New Zealand.

The following are those that I could find for the Te Puke area on the 1893 Electoral Roll CD available from the NZ Society of Genealogists.

Comparing the names on the 1893 Electoral Roll to the 1892/3 and 1894 Wises Post Office Directories make interesting reading. At last the women come out from behind their husbands shadows but there are names missing, both female and male from the electoral rolls. Maybe as today there was political apathy?
