If you're a citizen, sure, I've got no problem with that.
I don't know that I would even feel comfortable calling voting a right, but even if it is, it's certainly not the type of natural right that all people are entitled to have--indeed, the constitution even states that voting rights can be taken away. It's just not a natural right.
For instance, I have no problem with a form of government that involves peerage--like the old House of Lords--or a type of government that is not "one man, one vote" like was the case in many states until the 1960s.
Once society makes a commitment to protect natural rights, things like voting become a lot less important.

"Once society makes a commitment to protect natural rights, ..."
And, just how long do you think this commitment would last if unrestricted immigration were allowed?
