In 1915, Iowa suffragists lobbied throughout the state to garner support for a June 5, 1916 referendum that would amend the state constitution and grant women the right to vote. The referendum was defeated by 10,341 votes.
The Women's Christian Temperance Union conducted an investigation after the election and found that thousands of unregistered votes were cast in what appears to be a fraudulent election.

The National American Woman Suffrage Association solicited the opinions of Protestant and Catholic clergymen in the states where women were enfranchised on the effect of woman suffrage. Their statements were compiled into three leaflets; "Turn on the Light," "Living Witnesses" and "Opinions of Catholic Clergymen." These leaflets were distributed to clergymen in states where women were unenfranchised.
