This document defines suffrage and discusses its provisions in the Philippines constitution. It begins by defining suffrage as the right to vote in public elections. It then outlines Sections 1 and 2 of Article V which cover suffrage. Section 1 specifies that suffrage can be exercised by all citizens over 18 who have resided in the Philippines for at least a year and in their voting district for at least 6 months, with no literacy or property requirements. Section 2 mandates Congress establish procedures for absentee voting and voting by disabled/illiterate citizens to protect ballot secrecy.
