In South Africa, voting rights were severely restricted under apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation that lasted from 1948 to the early 1990s. The majority of the population, particularly Black South Africans, were denied the right to vote, leading to widespread disenfranchisement and social unrest. Following years of resistance and negotiation, the apartheid regime began to dismantle its policies, culminating in the first multiracial elections in 1994, where Nelson Mandela was elected president, marking a significant milestone in the granting of voting rights to all South Africans. This transition symbolized the end of racial discrimination in the electoral process and the establishment of a democratic society.
