Marie Ruoff Byrum (September 30, 1893 - January 1967) of Hannibal, Missouri was the first woman, after the effective date of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to vote in an election for public office under the amendment's guarantees . Prior to the enactment of the 19th Amendment, suffrage for women in the United States was left up to each of the individual states. In 15 of the states, women could vote in all state elections . Missouri had ratified the amendment in 1919, but only to allow women to vote in a U.S. presidential election . The 19th Amendment was certified on August 26, 1920; the election for a local alderman on August 31, 1920 was the first election for office after Missouri, and all other states, were required to abide by a constitutional requirement that the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged... by any State" because of gender. On August 27, a "yes/no" election on a bond issue was held in South St. Paul, Minnesota, but the August 31 vote in which Mrs. Byrum participated was the first for the choice of a candidate for office, and she was the first person in that regard to be granted rights under the 19th Amendment.
