Subsequent Reform Acts

Among later reform bills, the most important were those of 1917, which fixed the ratio of parliamentary representation as one seat for every 70,000 inhabitants, and provided for universal suffrage for men 21 years of age or older and women 30 or more years of age; and of 1928, which set identical voting qualifications for men and women.
