I assume you are talking about the time after the colonies declared their independence from England, because prior to that time, the King of England did not want the colonists to vote. After the United States became a country, the only people allowed to vote were white men, and usually only those white men who owned land or property. However, it did not take long for average working men to begin to vote too; but women and black people were not allowed to vote at all; and in some states, in those early days, they only allowed Christians to vote (but those laws were soon changed).

Did 3 colonies vote against independence?

Yes, during the Second Continental Congress in 1776, three colonies—New York, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina—did not vote in favor of independence from Britain. New York abstained because its delegates were not authorized to vote for independence. Pennsylvania's delegation was divided, and South Carolina's vote was contingent on the support of other colonies. Ultimately, the resolution for independence passed with the support of the majority of colonies.
