Voting rights refers to the right of a person to vote in an election. The right to vote has been a topic of much debate since the establishment of democracy, as certain people or groups want to expand voting rights to those who are disenfranchised and those who wish to reduce the numbers eligible to vote. One recent example of voting rights debate is in South Africa, where under apartheid, the white minority did not allow the majority black and coloured to vote. This system came to an end in South Africa in 1994, with the first completely free multi-party elections.
