Election Expenses and Woman Suffrage Costs Across Cities
State treasurers in suffrage states report no rise in election costs due to women voters. Denver led large cities in per capita voting cost in 1916, Cheyenne spent 10 cents per person, and June 1918 estimates suggested New York City could enfranchise all women for about one sixth of men’s voting cost. Chicago found women’s incremental cost modest, while women have paid taxes funding elections for over a century without voting rights.
