suffrage rights
Electoral participation privileges
Suffrage rights are the rights related to voting in political elections.
The term is largely redundant—suffrage alone means the right to vote—but the phrase emphasizes voting as a fundamental civil right rather than a mere privilege.
It appears most often in historical contexts: The suffrage rights movement fought for decades before women won the vote.
