In a democracy, yes. With regards to the United States of America specifically, the idea of democracy grew out of the need to hear the voices of the taxed individual. Since everyone (arguably) pays taxes in one form or another, it is indeed an expectation to have the right to vote on the government that would spend this money. Plus, it's generally just egalitarian to acknowledge that all citizens should have the right to vote to affect the country's policies.

∙ 15y agoThe answer to that is in the consitution, which states that the "right" to vote is not so much a right as it is a priveledge. Commiting serious crimes (felonies), revoking your status as a citizen, fraudulenty registering or failing to register are all ways of having this priveledge denied and/or revoked. So yes, you can have your right to vote revoked.
