HC Deb 19 July 1910 vol 19 c1061
EARL of RONALDSHAY

asked the Under-Secretary for India if he could say how many women, if any, have ever voted in elections in India for municipal, rural, or any other boards?

Mr. MONTAGU

It is an accepted principle in India that the privilege of voting at municipal and other similar elections should be confined to persons of the male sex. The Secretary of State is not aware that this principle has ever been deviated from.
