==Description==

'''Suffrage''', [[political]] franchise, or simply the franchise is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_right civil right] to [[vote]], or the [[exercise]] of that right. In [[English]], suffrage and its synonyms are sometimes also used to mean the right to run for office (to be a [[candidate]]), but there are no [[established]] qualifying terms to distinguish between these different [[meanings]] of the term(s). The right to run for office is sometimes called ([[candidate]]) eligibility, and the combination of both rights is sometimes called full suffrage. In many other [[languages]], the right to vote is called the active right to vote and the right to be voted for (to run for office) is called the passive right to vote. In [[English]], these are rarely called active suffrage and passive suffrage.
