Well no the political parties did not appear in the colonial times though there was voting. Any man could vote that was part of the community and shared the general religion of the town. People that were in the community couldn't vote if they didn't share the religion because the people didn't like them because they were intolerant. Also because lots of the time they were voting for religious reasons.
Free White men over the age of 21 years old who owned property had the right to vote. However, women over the age of 21, indentured servants, landless poor, and Africans (at the time called Negoes, most of whom were held as slaves), could not vote.
During colonial times, the right to vote was limited to adult white males who owned property. Most women could not vote, though some colonies gave the vote to widows who owned property. After the United States became an independent nation, the Constitution gave the states the right to decide who could vote. One by one, the states abolished property requirements and, by 1830, all white male adults could vote.
Anglo American women had few rights in colonial times. They could not own property unless they were widowed and were not able to vote.
