Why don't the WIKIASSHOLE DELETIONISTS ADDED A FULL EXPLANATION OF WIKI VOTING OR ARE THEY TOO BUSY ACTING AS THE OFFICIAL VANDALS? |
Revision as of 04:37, 10 May 2004
The discussion of electoral systems duplicates with electoral system. David.Monniaux 04:57, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
This isn't clear. What happened to the right to vote or to stand for election in those years? -phma
The "right to vote" is something different from voting, and the list also includes the right to be elected, so I suggested a different page for the list of countries. The right to vote exists much longer, as the first democracies arose in ancient Greece. Also, for many countries you are listing universal (or for all men) suffrage, while most countries have had the possibility to vote for a long time, be it for a limit group of people, or with a different system. Jeronimo
I posted this to User talk:DennisDaniels because the timeline confused me too.
Hey, I tried to clean up the timeline at Vote so it was easier to read and realized I don't know what it's a timeline of. What does it mean when you include the qualifier "to stand for elections?" Does that mean in addition to the right to vote? What if the qualifier says "right to vote"? Also, what is your source? Myanmar was called Burma in 1935, and the FYR of Macedonia did not exist in 1946. I'm pretty sure Croatia, Uzbekistan, Krygyrztan and Kazakhstan did not exist at the time they're on your list as well. What are you referring to? The US is on in 1920, so you're obviously not referring to universal suffrage. You need to explain exactly what this list is talking about, because I had assumed it was universal suffrage.
A timeline of the development of voting would be interesting (though it should probably be a separate article), but it needs to be clear at which stages the right was granted to which people (based on sex, race, age, criminal history, political status, etc). Tokerboy 19:26 Oct 21, 2002 (UTC)
Removed from page because it doesn't make sense. For instance how can voting be a recent development in democracies or how can you stand for election in the US in 1788 (and why is that even in the list) if you can't vote in the U.S. until 1920? --rmhermen
The Right to Vote is not universal and in fact is a fairly recent phenomenon. Women especially were restricted at times at times only being able to vote, then eventually being able to stand for election. The timeline that follows is not necessarily complete or 100% accurate but it stands a starting point for government scholars to clarify.

- the right to vote for women is new. to stand for election means the right for women to stand for election. I've tried to generalize a bit but still maintain a general timeline of events for various levels of franchise for each country...
- If this is a timeline of woman's suffrage, it belongs there, not here. Tokerboy 14:00 Oct 22, 2002 (UTC)
- ok, any other opinions before I make the move?-dgd
- May I also recommend organizing it as follows: Tokerboy 14:19 Oct 22, 2002 (UTC)
