Welche Aussagen über die Geschichte des Wahlrechts in Österreich stimmen?
- aIn the 19th century, the right to vote depended for a long time on a person’s wealth or the taxes they paid.Im 19. Jahrhundert hing das Wahlrecht lange vom Vermögen oder von den gezahlten Steuern ab.Correct answer

- dSince 1918, women in Austria have also had the right to vote.Seit 1918 haben in Österreich auch Frauen das Wahlrecht.Correct answer
Why?
The right to vote was extended step by step: for a long time it depended on wealth or the taxes a person paid; in 1907 all men received the general right to vote, and with the Republic in 1918 women did too. Today the right to vote does not depend on wealth.
