AR 129 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Recognizes history of women's suffrage in NJ.

This bill is a symbolic resolution that recognizes the history of women's suffrage in New Jersey, honoring the first women who voted in the state more than 200 years ago. It highlights key historical moments, including the 1776 constitution that granted voting rights to certain women, the 1790 law that solidified these rights, and the 1807 law that restricted suffrage to white men. The resolution also acknowledges the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment and the decades of activism by New Jersey women that preceded it. Copies of the resolution will be sent to women's organizations and the National Women's History Museum.
