The only people who were actually allowed to vote before the 1800s were adult white men who owned land. So women, children, non-whites, and even white non-land owners were not allowed to vote.

∙ 11y agoIf you were not a rich, white, adult male, you could not vote (that being if you did not own property). In the 1820s, any white, adult male was granted the right to vote. In the 1870s, non-white, adult males were also granted the right to vote.
Women were not allowed to vote until the 1920s.
Children and non-citizens are the only people who cannot vote.
