 Aziallis 18 Yes Partial1,2,3,4 Yes Yes Partial5,6,7
Since 1812 Since 1973 Since 1812 Since 1812 Since 1973
1. The makers of the Constitution failed to affirm universal suffrage in the 1803 Constitution, which lead to women and "lowerclans folk" being excluded from the 1805 elections. In 1815, Prime Minister Kvame Ujohari tried to change this by means of two Bills. Women were given the right to vote but "lowerfolk" and religious minorities were given special ballots where their votes counted as half. After the Anti-Rangi uprisings, the Transitional Authority changed this, and Rorho Kayersa in 1851 amended the Constitution to provide all citizens irrespective of their gender, class or religion the right to vote.

2. Under the New Voting Rights Act of 1924, individuals with diminished mental capacity could be disenfranchised if a doctor affilliated with the Franchise Commission certified that they were of diminished mental capacity to vote. The act allowed for anonymous information to be given by other citizens to the agency. The Franchishe Commission was given the authority to remove individuals with such issues without any appeal. It lead to the Franchise Commission disenrolling hundreds of activists from voter roles based on their "diminished mental capacity".
3. In 1955, the Svave government dismantled the Franchise Commission by amending the New Voter Rights Act but kept the clauses that disenfranchised disabled individuals in a limited capacity. The power of disenfranchisement was given to the Election Commission of Aziallis which passed it over to State Election Commissions.
4. In 1973, then Prime Minister Charita Sukerni repealed the New Voting Rights Act and replaced it with the Voting Rights Protection Act which allowed for the removal of voters in very specific cases.
5. The New Voting Rights Act of 1924 permanently disenfranchised individuals with a criminal record for drug crimes, violent crimes or sedition. Because sedition laws were very broad, any activism against the government could result in sedition. This was used extensively by the Marzhetoh regime to disenfranchise opposition leaders and activists by detaining them, slapping sedition charges on them and preventing them from voting in the future.
6. The Svave government removed the Voting Rights Amendment of 1932, though the deletion did not re-enfranchise the individuals who had lost their voting rights because of the 1932 amendment.
7. The 1959 Supreme Court judgement Uleshnei and Ors vs. The Union of Aziallis granted several folks who had lost their voting rights due to the 1924 amendment back.
