Exhibit: Who Can Vote?

Who Can Vote? A Brief History of Voting Rights in the US examines voting rights with an emphasis on the role of the US Constitution and the interplay between the states and federal government in determining who is allowed to vote.  Beginning with the founding era, this exhibition explores the complex history of the right to vote that forms the core of our nation’s democracy. Topics include voting as a constitutional right, women’s suffrage, Reconstruction and Jim Crow era voting rights, the Civil Rights Movement, and the enfranchisement of Indigenous peoples.

This exhibit was produced by The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
