    If their constitution is anything like the United States Constitution and government, then one of the fundamental principals is that not every right is specifically enumerated in the law, meaning just because a thing isn’t specifically listed as being a right doesn’t mean it’s necessarily not a right. Voting is obviously one of those things.

      And, correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t some of those unenumerated rights include those granted by the federal government— such as the right to vote?
