Sheppard then produced a second pamphlet, Should Women Vote?, that presented statements on suffrage from notable people from New Zealand and overseas.[39] The Electoral Bill was delayed until 1890, and on 5 August 1890, Hall proposed a motion to the House "That in the opinion of the House, the right of voting for members of the House of Representatives should be extended to women."
