2017 marks the 100th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in New York State. From now until 2020, the New York State Women's Suffrage Commission will plan and execute an organized series of statewide programs which will mark the century milestone after the ratification of the 19th Amendment granting all women across the United States the right to vote. 

The Commission’s programs will celebrate the accomplishment of women’s suffrage and the central role of New Yorkers and New York State in this milestone, while also helping shape the future to ensure a more just and equitable society for all.
