The framers of the United States constitution left decisions on voting eligibility to individual states.
Throughout US history, voting rights, specifically the enfranchisement and disenfranchisement of various groups, have been a moral and political issue.
In the United States, voting eligibility is governed by the United States Constitution as well as federal and state laws. Several constitutional amendments (specifically the Fifteenth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-sixth) require that voting rights of U.S. citizens not be abridged on the basis of race, colour, previous condition of servitude, sex, or age (18 and older); During the period 1787-1870, the constitution did not establish any such rights, except when a state allowed a person to vote for the "most numerous branch" of its state legislature. In the absence of a specific federal law or constitutional provision, each state has considerable latitude in establishing suffrage and candidacy qualifications within its own jurisdiction; additionally, states and lower level jurisdictions establish election systems, such as at-large or single member district elections for county councils or school boards.
