A:
You have every right to seek fairness in the voting process. It's important to clarify that selective service registration is not a requirement for voting in the United States. Men are required to register for the selective service system, but this obligation is separate from their voting rights. Women are not required to register for selective service, yet this does not affect their eligibility to vote.
If you believe there is gender discrimination affecting voting rights, you may consider consulting with a legal professional who specializes in civil rights. They can provide guidance on whether there are grounds for a lawsuit based on current laws and regulations. Additionally, advocacy groups focused on gender equality might offer support and resources to help address your concerns.
Ensuring that all voters have equal access and that no discriminatory practices are in place is crucial for a fair electoral system. Taking the appropriate legal steps can help address any disparities and promote equal rights for all voters.
