New Zealand got Women’s suffrage in 1893.
France didn’t get it until 1944.
Bahrain, I think, didn’t get it until 2002.

Are there still countries where men get the right to vote and women don’t?

In New Zealand, prisoners with a term of one year or more were recently (since 2010) denied the vote.

Are there any countries that allow non-citizens to vote?

Is 18 years old a standard age around the world for how young a voter may be? What about youth rights.

As far as I remember, these things are still different all over the place. There are still no absolute standards.

In Australia prisoners with a sentence longer than three years also cannot vote.

TATE says:

“In late September 2011, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud declared that women would be able to vote and run for office starting in 2015. That applies to the municipal councils, which are the kingdom’s only semi-elected bodies. Half of the seats on municipal councils are elective, and the councils have few powers. “

I didn’t know that.

I’ve got no objection to women voting as long as they own enough land.

… or slaves.

Following that thought. What if only those people who pay tax are allowed to vote – no other limitation on age, gender, nationality or imprisonment?

That’s new to me.

Yes. There is one. And of course the inequality is a result of a vile, backwards, savage religion ruling the roost there.

Vatican City.

There’s still a difference between what’s on paper & actual practice.

In the USA non-whites were given the right to vote in 1870
however in practice, they’re systematically excluded from doing so using any number of devious means.

It’d be interesting if there were countries still doing this.

In New Guinea, a former politician told me that a native once came up to him and boasted “i voted for you 20 times!”

But i haven’t heard of specific discrimination in elections, recently.

Despite the overwhelming and obvious evidence to the contrary, in 2013 the right wing Supreme Court decided that racism was extinct in the USA and that minority voters did not need the protection of the Voting Rights Act. Since that utterly dishonest decision the racists of the Republican Party have went on a spree of voter supression, mainly aimed at minority voters. It should always be remembered that the defining trait of the modern Republican Party is that of self-serving hypocrisy. If they could find some way to deny votes to every single Democrat voter they would go for it, while preaching about “democracy” to everybody else. In the mean time they concentrate on denying votes to minorities, although student voters are also now being targetted, with “residency” qualifications being imposed to deter students from voting. Hypocrisy is what they do best.

“Australia
(CN member) “British subjects”, who are not an Australian citizen, have had voting rights at federal elections since 1948. Though that status was abolished in 1984, those on the electoral roll at that time retained voting rights.”

That doesn’t count.

“Non-citizens can generally vote in local government elections, subject to varying residency requirements.”

That does count. Thanks.

the question was non-citizens. being a british subject doesn’t make you a citizen. neighbour is a kiwi not australian. he votes.

i’d bet they would give you voting rights if you just sent them your address regardless of who you were
