The right of the people to vote and elect their representatives is called franchise. The
word franchise is derived from the French word ‘franc’ which means ‘free’. It means free exercise of the right to choose one’s representatives. Adult franchise means that the
right to vote should be given to all adult citizens without the discrimination of caste, class,
colour, religion or gender.It is based on equality which is a basic principle of democracy. It demands that the right to
vote should be equally available among all. To deny any class of persons from exercising
this right is to violate their right to equality.
