Article 25 rights fall into two groupings. One is concerned with enfranchisement and addresses the right to vote and be elected by universal and equal suffrage, combined with certain stipulations for elections (such as ballot secrecy and the promise that elections will express the will of electors). It also includes the right to participate in public affairs through representatives thereby elected, and enables influence in public debate and dialogue, which is particularly important for engagement by minorities in decision-making which affects them. The other grouping concerns access to employment within the public service on general terms of equality. Both apply only to citizens.
