23. Earlier, we read about how the struggle for democracy was linked to the demand for universal adult
franchise. This principle has now come to be accepted almost all over the world. Yet there are many
instances of denial of equal right to votel Until 2015, in Saudi Arabia women did not have the right
to vote. < Estonia has made its citizenship rules in such a way that people belonging to Russian
minority find it difficult to get the right to vote. In Fiji, the electoral system is such that the vote of
an indigenous Fiji has more value than that of an Indian-Fijian. Democracy is based on a fundamental
principle of political equality. That gives us the third feature of democracy: in a democracy, each adult
citizen must have one vote and each vote must have one value. Universal sultrage (also called
universal franchise, general suffrage, and common suffrage lof the common man) gives the right to
vote to all adult citizens, regardless of wealth, income, gender, social status, race, ethnicity, or any
other restriction, subject only to relatively minor exceptions,
