Not the slaves - that's for sure.
The Three-Fifths Compromise came about to determine if slaves would count in the census. It was decided that each slave would count as three-fifths of a person.
Every slave counted as three-fifths of a person. So if there were 5,000 slaves, 3,000 were counted as a 'citizen' or part of the population.

When voting, slaves would only count for three-fifths of a person.
the southern states wanted their slaves to be able to vote because if their slaves could vote, they would most likely vote for their owners choice, but the northeners didnt want them to vote so they agreed that slaves would count as three-fifths of a person
The Three Fifths Compromise solved the problem of how population should be counted in slave states in terms of representation in Congress as well as tax purposes. Since black slaves made up a significant part of the population in the southern states, and they did not have the right to vote, it was declared that the slaves would represent three fifths of a white person. Short answer: allowed the slaves states to count a slave as three fifths of a person
