Why does voting matter?

When did people get the right to vote?

It hasn't always been the case that the Dutch population could vote! 

Flip over your paper and record the order of events you hear on the timeline. 

What surprised you the most from the information on the website?

All done for today! Remember:

Voting is something special and is a (relatively) new privilege that we have.

Once you are old enough, make sure you do your research and vote.

Remember that many people (woman, citizens of the ABC islands, etc.) received the right to vote during the last ±100 years. Not everyone has been treated equally!
