In Conservative Judaism, Reform Judaism, and most Orthodox Jewish movements, women have the right to vote. Since the 1970s, more and more Modern Orthodox synagogues and religious organizations have been granting women the right to vote and to be elected to their governing bodies. In a few Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, women are denied the vote or the ability to be elected to positions of authority.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vosizneias.com/63964/2010/09/12/manhattan-ny-rabbi-holds-on-to-keep-women-off-from-board-of-orthodox-synagogue/ |title=Manhattan, NY – Rabbi Keeps Off Women from Board of LES Orthodox Synagogue |date=September 12, 2010 |publisher=VosIzNeias.com |access-date=September 2, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nysun.com/new-york/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-against-synagogue/14/ |title=JUDGE DISMISSES LAWSUIT AGAINST SYNAGOGUE |work=[[The New York Sun]] |date=June 2, 2004 |access-date=September 2, 2011 |archive-date=October 11, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111011054328/http://www.nysun.com/new-york/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-against-synagogue/14/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crownheights.info/index.php?itemid=33955 |title=The Key to Marital Harmony: One Vote Per Couple? |publisher=CrownHeights.info |access-date=September 2, 2011}}</ref>

In the United States, Jewish women were hugely participatory in the suffrage movement. American Jewish support started in the mid-1800s but grew significantly at the turn of the twentieth century due to Jewish immigration from Europe. Jewish suffragists faced [[antisemitism]] and [[xenophobia]] from [[Anti-suffragism|anti-suffragists]] and suffragists alike. By the time of the [[Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Nineteenth Amendment]], a majority of American Jews supported suffrage.<ref name="Suffrage in the United States">{{Cite web |title=Suffrage in the United States |url=https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/suffrage-in-the-united-states |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=Jewish Women's Archive |date=June 23, 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

[[Ernestine Rose]] was a Polish American suffragist who worked closely with [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton]] and [[Susan B. Anthony]].
