Universal Suffrage in Election Law
A fundamental principle in democratic elections, by which every citizen has the right to vote in periodic and regular elections and referenda. This right must be established by law. Restrictions may apply (minimum age, mental capacity), but the right to vote should not be denied on the basis of race, disability, literacy, gender, belief, party affiliation, wealth or social status.The eligibility of a voter must be determined based on objective criteria, such as age or nationality and be intended to rationalise the exercise of this right, rather than to exclude or discriminate.
