Beginning with the General Assembly Elections Act of 1919, which reaffirmed a franchise limited to propertied men, milestones include the introduction of voting by secret ballot between 1939 and 1946, universal adult male suffrage in 1959, women's suffrage in 1961, and the incremental abolition of plural voting between 1959 and 1969. 410 0$aGlobal perspectives on legal history. 606 $aSuffrage$zBahamas$y20th century 606 $aElection law$zBahamas$y20th century 608 $aHochschulschrift. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSuffrage 615 0$aElection law 676 $a342.07 700 $aAranha$b Stephen B$4aut$01350698 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 912 $a9910678400603321 996 $aTowards a Democratic Franchise$93089449 997 $aUNINA
