Suffrage is the right to vote granted to qualified citizens to participate in elections and decisions made by the government. It is considered a political right, not a natural right, granted upon fulfilling minimum conditions. The constitution provides that suffrage may be exercised by Filipino citizens at least 18 years old who have resided in the Philippines for at least one year and in their voting district for at least six months. Congress must ensure secrecy of ballots and absentee voting for Filipinos abroad, and allow disabled and illiterate voters to cast ballots without assistance.
