The first major example of such was in 1550 when the leaders of the respective states of the Magnavyan Empire came together and switched the country to a democracy from an autocracy. Universal suffrage regardless of gender was immediately established and citizens of the Magnavyan Empire were allowed to vote regardless of their intelligence. It would take until 1670 for the next set of major voting reforms to take place. In this year the newly established Tandemocratic Republic of Cronzcovina granted universal suffrage to all races and got rid of wealth employment barriers that previously prevented less affluent citizens to vote in elections. Discriminatory religious laws were abolished upon the creation of the First Republic of Diamavya in 1826, though these laws became more complicated upon the establishment of the Grand Authoritarian Republic of Diamavya in 1953 as blasphemy laws prohibited anyone from claiming to believe in a religion other than Christianity but didn't prohibet these other religions from actually being practised. Criminality still prohibits citizens from voting unless they apply for an exemption based on the nature of the crime or sentence given. Nationality still largely prohibits citizens from voting but from 2013 onwards you were granted the right to vote if you had citizenship, resident status, and had lived in Diamavya for a total of six months in the four years prior to the election. | | colspan="8" style="vertical-align:middle;" |Electoral law has changed drastically throughout the history of Diamavya.
