The Territory of Wyoming passes the. first law in the nation giving women over. age 21 the right to vote. After joining the. Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first. state to permit women the right to vote in. all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al-. lowed women to vote in municipal elec-. tions.
Wyoming Territory granted women the right to vote in 1869. Every woman living in the territory over the age of 21 was able to vote. One year later, Eliza A. Swain became the first woman to cast a vote. That same year, 1870, women were granted the right to serve on juries in the territory. These rights remained unchallenged until the U.S. Congress threatened not to grant Wyoming statehood if women continued to be allowed to vote.
