Suffrage Act

The Suffrage Act refers to legislation that grants or secures the right to vote to a specific group of people, often addressing historical exclusion. It typically marks a significant step toward equal political participation, such as the 19th Amendment in the U.S. that granted women the right to vote. The act aims to eliminate barriers—like legal restrictions based on gender, race, or other factors—that prevent certain populations from voting. Overall, it represents a commitment to expanding democratic rights and ensuring all eligible citizens can participate in elections.
