Abstract: | The actual functioning of the Cape franchise in the context of post-Union politics has been little explored. The twenty years after Union fora an epoch which was ended by the enfranchiseaent of white women in 1930, a measure which at one stroke halved the voting pover of the Cape's enfranchised coloared and African men. This paper first views the Cape franchise as a whole through a combination of statistical information and preliminary inrpressions. The second part is a case study, focusing on a single by-election, viz. of Queenstown in 1921. Notes, ref. |
