Answer:
In a democracy, the right to
vote is granted on the basis of universal adult franchise. In India, every
adult above18 years has a right to vote without any discrimination.
Although the principle of

(i) In Saudi Arabia, women did

would cast their vote in 2015 municipal elections.
(ii) Estonia has made its

(iii) In Fiji, the electoral
system is such that the vote of an indigenous Fijian has more value than that
of an Indian Fijian.
