Who could vote in a puritan society?
According to the charter, freemen were to meet and choose a governor and any other elected officials. "Freeman" was defined in the charter as any shareholder in the Massachusetts Bay Company, the group financing the colony. In May 1631, at the second meeting of the General Court set up by the colonists as a legislative and governing body, the freeman's oath was taken by 116 male colonists--just about all of the adult males of the small colony. But at the same time that all these men were given the title and privileges of freemen, the officers of the Company decided amongst themselves that in the future, only church members would be allowed to become freemen. At that time, attending a Puritan church and being baptized in it did not make you a member. A member was someone who had completed a long and arduous spiritual journey toward Grace, and who had publicly narrated that experience and its end results before their church congregation, and had that statement accepted by the congregation.

How did the puritan's try to make their settlement in the Massachusetts Bay colony?
For the Puritans who founded and developed the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1628 onward, the role of religion can hardly be overstated. Their reason for migrating to the New World was essentially religious: they sought to practice their faith without inhibitions or persecution. Hence, upon their arrival, they ordered their society from top to bottom through faith-centric understandings of themselves and of the world.

The answer depends on the local church as well as the denominational rules. Some churches restrict participation in Communion to adult members. Some permit children of adult members to participate if their parents have given permission (and presumably have instructed them on the meaning of the sacrament). Other churches permit anyone who can say that they are a follower of Jesus to participate, regardless of whether or not that person belongs to any church.
