The association not only organized meetings on voting rights but participated in electoral meetings, asking candidates how they felt about women's participation in provincial and national elections. The first meeting was held on 15 February 1889 with 1,500 participants. In addition to Luplau, Louise Nørlund and Johanne Meyer, there were also some prominent gentlemen in the audience, including Fredrik Bajer and Jens Christian Hostrup.
After the death of Luplau in 1891, interest in the organization diminished.
