Lockwood Presidential Ballot

In days when ballots were in use, they were sometimes handed out by political parties before an election, at other times they were available only at polling stations. Ballots contained the entire party ticket, and if one wished to split his ballot among candidates running from different parties, he had to strike out one name and replace it with another,
The ballot pictured here is the only known variety for Lockwood in either her 1884 or 1888 campaigns. It pictures both her and her running mate Marietta Stow. This ballot was issued in New York, where, in some areas, it was technically possible for women to hold certain offices even though they could not vote for themselves. This was the case when Elizabeth Cady Stanton ran for Congress.
Gender issues aside, one could argue that Lockwood in 1884 was the first legal Presidential candidate. Victoria Woodhull was under the mandated Constitutional requirement of 35 years of age when she ran in 1872.
