In ancient Athens, the right to vote was limited to free male citizens who had completed their military training and were at least 18 years old. This excluded women, slaves, and foreign residents, which meant that only a small percentage of the population could participate in the democratic process. While the system was groundbreaking for its time, it was not inclusive by modern standards. Thus, while eligible citizens had the right to vote, many others did not.
