In the UK, in 1918, all men over 21 and women over 30 won the right to vote. It wasn't until 1928 that all women over the age of 21 were also given the right to vote. In English, we call the long campaign for women to have the right to vote 'Suffrage', sometimes known as the 'Suffragette Movement'.
The right to vote is exercised by most citizens in America.
Voting rights for women were fought in the early 1900s.
Although voting is a right for American citizens, you are not required to exercise it.
Rights and the right to vote have been established

Rights(権利)やthe right to vote(投票する権利)は政治先進国で確立されました。自分たちがより好む政党に投票したり、ある事柄について意見の一致をさせる時に選ぶことによって人々の権利が表現されるのが、公正な投票の仕組みです。
イギリスではこれをour right to vote(私たちの投票する権利)と呼びます。
例:
"i am going to vote for my favourite party because
they represent my views".(私は自分が1番好きな政党に投票します。なぜなら、彼らは私の価値観を代弁してくれているからです。)
あるいは
I am exercising my right to vote"(私は投票権を行使します。)
