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).

How many colonies had to agree with the Declaration of Independence?

By mutual consent all thirteen had to vote in favor of independence. That's why the formal document (the "Declaration of Independence") specifically points out that this is a unanimous declaration.(This does not mean every single individual in Congress, but that each colony's/state's delegation would vote, and a majority of "no's" in any delegation would defeat the measure.)
