Where in your constitution is it stated that anyone has the right to vote for the office of President of US?

The US Constitution makes no such statement. It is not true that everyone can vote- there are restrictions based on age, ability to establish proof of citizenship, prior registration, etc. The 15th amendment says that race or color can not be a restriction against voting. The 19th amendment says that sex can not be used as a voting condition.
