The right to vote forms the core of American democracy. Our history is marked by successful struggles to expand the franchise, to include those previously barred from the electorate because of race, class, or gender. As a result our democracy is richer, more diverse, and more representative of the people than ever before. There remains, however, one significant blanket barrier to the franchise. 5.3 million American citizens are not allowed to vote because of a felony conviction. As many as 4 million of these people live, work and raise families in our communities, but because of a conviction in their past they are still denied the right to vote.

There has been a very significant debate on our constitution regarding the nature of right to vote, which categorically says about the universal adult franchise that emphasizes every Indian citizen above eighteen years of age and having no discrimination on any ground. But People's Representative Act explicitly denies it saying no person shall have the right to vote if he or she is confined in a prison by any means. Hon'ble Supreme Court also emphatically reiterated the same in its judgments that right to vote is only a statutory right, and the legislator can determine the terms on which right to vote can be enjoyed. But the criminal jurisprudence very categorically says that punishment is a means to reform and not to alienate debarring any person his right to franchise as it is considered an extra punishment which is quite unreasonable and unappreciable. Moreover the right to vote imposes a positive obligation on the state to make proper arrangement to ensure its effective exercise. In this paper an attempt has been taken critically to analyze the said matter.

The right to vote is one of the most important institutions of constitutional law, which provides for the right of citizens not only to elect state bodies through elections, but also to exercise the right of citizens to participate in the management of state and public affairs by sending their representatives to these bodies.

For those who believe the United States is a representative democracy with a government elected by the people, the events of late 2000must have been more than a little disconcerting. In the election for our most important public office – our only truly national office – the candidate who received the most popular votes was declared the loser while his second place opponent, who had received some 540,000 fewer votes, was the winner. This result turned on the outcome in Florida, where approximately 150,000 ballots cast were found not to contain valid votes. Further, due to flaws in ballot design, thousands of other Florida ballots almost certainly failed to reflect the intentions of the voters who cast them. The number of uncounted ballots and votes arguably misrepresented by the butterfly ballot was far greater than the difference in votes between the first-place and second-place presidential candidates in the state. Studies later found that between four and six million votes were lost nationwide in the 2000 election, with 1.5 to 2 million votes lost due to faulty voting equipment and confusing ballots. Several states had higher rates of spoiled presidential ballots than Florida.
