 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 1810 Constitution, which lead to women being excluded from the 1811 elections. The first Prime Minister, in 1812, brought a Constitutional amendment to affirm universal suffrage irrespective of gender. race, religion, or caste. The 1811 election is the only election in the history of democratic Aziallis where women weren't allowed to vote.

2. Under the Voting Rights Addition Act, of 1927, individuals with diminished mental capacity could be disenfranchised. An agency made by the Government called the Franchishe Commission was given the authority to remove individuals with such issues but gave the body very broad powers. It lead to the FranComm disenrolling hundreds of activists from voter roles based on their "diminished mental capacity".
3. In 1955, the Svave government dismantled the FranComm but kept the clauses that disenfranchise disabled individuals, limiting the power of the clause and giving the authority to the Election Commission to disenroll disabled people.
4. In 1973, then Prime Minister Charita Sukerni got the Voting Rights Protection Act through Parliament amending the 1955 amendment and reducing the scope of the disenrollment to very specific conditions and their progression. 5. The Voting Rights Amendment Act, of 1932, permanently disenfranchised individuals with a criminal record, and because of the specific wordings of the Act, simply getting detained by the police could result in disenfranchisement. This was used extensively by the Mazhetorih regime to disenfranchise opposition leaders and activists by detaining 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 all who had lost their voting rights due to the 1932 amendment back.
