Tags: Election.

The United Kingdom general election of 1918 was the first to be held after the Representation of the People Act 1918 which meant it was the first United Kingdom general election in which any women could vote. It was also the first in which all men over the age of 21 could vote; previously many poor or Catholic men had been excluded from voting while the new laws still excluded women under the age of 30.
