Which federal measure gave most Canadian women the right to vote in federal elections?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The 1918 federal law extending the vote to women
- Step 1: Women won the federal vote in 1918, with Quebec women's provincial vote not until 1940. Step 2. Some women had limited voting rights from the Wartime Elections Act of 1917. Answer: the 1918 law. Why not the others: the Persons Case dealt with Senate eligibility, the Statute with legislative independence and the 1960 bill with rights generally.
