The two types of suffrage are universal suffrage and limited suffrage. Universal suffrage allows all adults to vote without restrictions based on race, gender, or social status, while limited suffrage restricts voting rights to certain groups based on criteria such as age, property ownership, or citizenship. Universal suffrage aims to ensure equal participation in the democratic process, whereas limited suffrage can create disparities in political representation.

Universal suffrage (also universal adult suffrage, general suffrage or common suffrage) consists of the extension of the right to vote to adult citizens (or subjects) as a whole, though it may also mean extending said right to minors (Demeny voting) and non-citizens. Although suffrage has two necessary components, the right to vote and opportunities to vote, the term universal suffrage is associated only with the right to vote and ignores the other aspect, the frequency that an incumbent government consults the electorate. Where universal suffrage exists, the right to vote is not restricted by race, sex, belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, wealth, or social status. Historically, universal suffrage often in fact refers to universal adult male suffrage.
