During apartheid in South Africa, only white citizens were allowed to vote. The racially discriminatory laws established a political system that excluded the majority of the population, particularly Black South Africans, Coloureds, and Indians, from participating in elections. This exclusion was a fundamental aspect of the apartheid regime, which enforced racial segregation and oppression. Voting rights were only expanded in the early 1990s, leading to the end of apartheid and the establishment of a multiracial democracy.
