Universal adult suffrage, the right of all adults to vote in elections, was first achieved in the United States in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. In the United Kingdom, universal adult suffrage was achieved in 1928 with the passage of the Representation of the People Act. Other countries around the world have implemented universal adult suffrage at different times throughout history, with some nations still working towards achieving this goal today.

Universal Male Suffrage
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.
