March 24, 1919, the Minnesota Legislature granted Minnesota women the right to vote for presidential electors. Suffrage associations in states where women had the vote automatically became members of the League of Women Voters, still an auxiliary of NAWSA. On September 19 a special session of the Minnesota Legislature ratified the 19th Amendment: in the House 120 to 6; in the Senate 60 to 5. Thus full franchise came to the women of Minnesota. Those who worked for it began to plan immediately for its use.

League of Women Voters of Minnesota Organized

The Minnesota Suffrage Association dissolved its corporation on the October 7, 1919 and passed a resolution that its effects—funds, office supplies, equipment—"become on that date the property of the Minnesota League of Women Voters to be organized October 29, 1919, as a branch of the national League of Women Voters for the purpose of completing full enfranchisement of women and increasing effectiveness of women's votes in furthering better government."
