upright=1.5|thumb|People queuing and showing their identity documents for voting in the [[2014 Indian general election]] Suffrage, political franchise, or simply franchise is the right to vote in public, political elections and referendums (although the term is sometimes used for any right to vote). In some languages, and occasionally in English, the right to vote is called active suffrage, as distinct from passive suffrage, which is the right to stand for election. The combination of active and passive suffrage is sometimes called full suffrage.
Suffrage is the right to vote in public political elections and referendums, a fundamental aspect of democratic participation. It matters because it determines who has a voice in selecting leaders and deciding important public issues that affect their communities and nations.
