Açıklama
The term "franchise" in political science refers to the legal right to vote in public elections.
There are two main types:
-
Universal adult franchise – when all adults in a country have the right to vote, regardless of gender, wealth, or social status.
-
Restricted franchise – where voting is limited by certain qualifications (e.g. age, education, tax payments, etc.)
