Voting Rights Around the World

Imagine You Live in a Country Where…

• Only wealthy citizens are allowed to vote.
• Women cannot vote.
• Members of one ethnic group cannot vote.
• Citizens can vote, but only for candidates approved by the government.
• Everyone can vote, but the government ignores the results.

Which of these societies would be most unfair? Explain your reasoning.

Does a country become democratic simply because it allows people to vote?

How democratic are Russian elections?
