• What's with the Funny Name?

  For many people, the word "suffrage" is intimately connected with the women's suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th century.

  
  

  FairVote Rhode Island calls this website "Rhode Island Suffrage" to demystify the word suffrage and to show that the quest for universal voting rights didn't begin - or end - with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
