1970 South Carolina Amendment 1

1970 South Carolina Amendment 1 was a proposed amendment to the Constitution of South Carolina to repeal the defunct provision requiring a voter to be a male. The amendment was symbolic, as the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution had granted women the right to vote in 1920. The ballot measure passed with over 76% of the vote in favor, and with the support of all 46 counties.
