This database is a digitised version of the main suffrage petition submitted to Parliament in 1893. The name and address fields represent what appeared on the original sheets. The Suburb/Town and City/Region fields have been added to provide consistent information about the signatories’ location. The 'more' link goes to a page where extra information can be added. Members of the public are encouraged to submit further information via community contributions or you can email us at info@nzhistory.net.nz

Note that some places are under-represented on this database as women may have signed smaller regional petitions which have not survived. Read more about the petitions here. On the table 'suburb' and 'city' refer to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin only - all other places are listed as towns and regions.
We are grateful to Archives New Zealand and the Ministry of Women's Affairs for making the original petition transcripts available to us.
