Summary

Grenfell Street, south side, left side of Register office is 57.5 yards east of King William Street. There are boards outside the South Australia Register Office announcing results of votes in an election. The first polling day in Australia which included women voters was in South Australia on 25 April 1896. Women turned out to be enthusiastic voters: the percentage of those women enrolled who went to the polls was marginally higher than the percentage of enrolled men who voted. Some of the Councils mentioned include Light, Albert, Encounter Bay, Barossa, Stanley and Flinders. A crowd of onlookers is watching the results. A mounted policeman is watching the proceedings.
