Right and a privilege. It is a right as a citizen of the US. It is a privilege given by few other countries.

We are given the right based on the constitution however, we are given the privilege of voting. I think it's a privilege since sometimes the right to vote is taken away.

I think voting is a privilege because people in other countries don't always get to and we should be thankful that we have a democracy where we can vote for who our leader is!

Voting is constitutionally a right, but it is a privilege in the sense that a society must be stable for democracy and voting rights to work.

I believe it is a right and a privilege.
It is certainly a right given that we are an electoral democracy - and definitely a privilege when compared to many other countries.

It hasn't been a right very long, because not that long ago women couldn't vote. See how messed up things are now! Nobody should vote based on thier emotions.

It is a right when you do it, and it is a privilege when anyone else does it.

Unfortunatly, its a right, but only Constitutionally.
There are deffinatly some people out there who don't deserve it though.
Personally, I believe you should have to pass the citizenship test in order to vote. But lets face it, that will never happen.

It is a right due to age and citizenship. It is a privilege due to our American heritage.
