Well almost everywhere, anyway. The sole exceptions are Vatican City, which in 2011 had a grand total of 32 female citizens, and Brunei which has about 200,000.
Vatican City is an absolute monarchy, headed by the Pope. It holds no elections, so neither male nor female citizens have the right to vote. However, the Pope is elected – by the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church, which women cannot join.
Brunei has a parliament, but hasn’t held national elections since 1962. Both men and women aged 18 or older can vote in local elections for village leaders.
Aside from that, every other woman in the world can now vote. If that’s not beautiful news, what is?
Correction: This graphic previously listed Vatican City alone as the only country where women cannot vote. After some consideration, we’ve added Brunei due to the length of time since it last held national elections where women could vote.
