Universal adult franchise that is also known as universal suffrage or common suffrage, is the principle that all adult citizens of a country have the right to vote in elections, regardless of factors like:

• Gender
• Race
• Social status
• Wealth
• Political stance
• Religion
• Caste

There might be some exceptions, like people with certain mental disabilities or those who have committed serious crimes. However, the core principle is that every adult citizen has an equal say in choosing their representatives through voting.
