About This Item
Putting forth a vote on the ballot to the citizens of Hiram, Maine, US concerning women's suffrage. Unfolded sheet is 25" x 9". There are five amendments in total on the ballot, with Proposed Amendment No.1 reading: "The right to vote or to hold office shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex..."

Also includes Proposed Amendment No.4, which proposed amendments to Article 7 of the Constitution regarding the rollout of American troops in WWI. A quarter-folded sheet with very minor age-toning to extremities and creases. Has facsimile signature of Maine Secretary of State Frank W. Ball on recto. In very good condition overall.
