I think Heinlein had the right idea in Starship Troopers. No citizenship, aka no right to vote, unless you’d served in the military.

I would add to that, no sending anyone to fight if you didn’t serve active

CORRECTION please: RAH specified "Public Service" with the added caveats that even the disabled should be eligible for voting citizenship by appropriate service. I believe that the applicant could request a specific area of service but it was the service that chooses from the pool of applicants.

So someone like me who was “stupid” enough to stay home and raise her kids couldn’t vote?

I’m also of a generation where few women entered the military.

Gee,I actually thought I had some value.

Silly me.
