October marks the 100th anniversary of Utah ratifying the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. To commemorate this anniversary, an original copy of Senate Joint Resolution No. 1 will be on display at the Utah State Capitol during the interim week on Tuesday, October 15 and Wednesday, October 16, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“Utah was the first suffrage state to ratify the 19th Amendment,” said Senator Deidre Henderson, co-chair of the Martha Hughes Cannon Statue Oversight Committee. “It is important to remember the people who fought to include women’s voting rights in the U.S. Constitution. We all benefit from their efforts and sacrifice. My hope is that we express our appreciation to them by prizing the gift of political freedom they have given us.”
