In 1867 Germany (the <a href="/wiki/North_German_Confederation" title="North German Confederation">North German Confederation</a>) enacted suffrage for all adult males.

On 19 September 1893 the British Governor of New Zealand, <a href="/wiki/David_Boyle,_7th_Earl_of_Glasgow" title="David Boyle, 7th Earl of Glasgow">Lord Glasgow</a>, gave assent to a new electoral act, which meant that New Zealand became the first British-controlled colony in which women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> This was followed shortly after by the colony of <a href="/wiki/South_Australia" title="South Australia">South Australia</a> in 1894, which was the second to allow women to vote, but the first colony to permit women to stand for election as well.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> In 1906, the autonomous Russian territory known as <a href="/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Finland" title="Grand Duchy of Finland">Grand Duchy of Finland</a> (which became the Republic of Finland in 1917) became the first territory in the world to implement unrestricted universal suffrage, as women could stand as candidates, unlike in New Zealand, and without indigenous ethnic exclusion, like in Australia.
