Both prior to and after the Revolutionary War, only white, male property owners over the age of 21 were entitled to suffrage. Between 1820 and 1840, most states repealed property holder qualifications for voting. At this point, only black slaves, Native Americans and women continued to be denied the right to vote.

From 1776 to 1807, property-holding women had the right to vote in New Jersey. The state’s constitution allowed women who met certain property qualifications to participate in elections. However, this right was short-lived, as the New Jersey legislature revoked it in 1807, effectively disenfranchising women. This period remains a notable exception in early American voting rights history.

The requirement to own property for voting purposes began to be relaxed in various places during the 1700s, but a significant milestone came with the American Revolution. Many states began to eliminate property requirements for voting in the years following the war, particularly in the 1820s and 1830s. However, the push for broader suffrage and the eventual removal of property qualifications varied widely across different states and regions. Overall, the trend toward more inclusive voting rights accelerated throughout the early 19th century.

After the American Revolution, Pennsylvania and Vermont were the two states that eliminated all property requirements for voting. Pennsylvania made this change in 1776, allowing all free men to vote regardless of property ownership. Vermont followed suit in 1777, further promoting the principle of universal suffrage among white male citizens. These measures reflected the revolutionary ideals of equality and democratic participation.
Individual state may set any qualifications they choose for voting as long as those qualifications are not in conflict with the United States Constitution or Federal Laws. Most qualifications involve timeliness of registering.
