Local elections?
editI came upon this for P.E.I.:
- 1888 Unmarried women in Charlottetown win the right to vote in municipal elections.
- 1892 Unmarried women in Summerside win the right to vote in municipal elections.
- 1899 Women win the right to sit on School Boards in Charlottetown and Summerside.
- 1917 Women with close relatives in the armed forces win the right to vote in federal elections.
- 1918 Women over the age of 21 who are Canadian citizens win the right to vote in federal elections, with the exception of Indigenous women.
- 1922 Island women win the right to vote in provincial elections, with the exception of Indigenous women.

- St John's Municipal Councilin 1921 (Furlong, p. 154). Were there any other councils before 1925? Incidentally, Furlong gives 1924 (p. 155): which is correct?
