There is a federal standard for who can and cannot vote. It is called
the 15th amendment to the Constitution which guarantees that,
throughout the nation, no person shall be denied the right to vote on
account of race or color. It was effecuated by the Voting Right Act
of 1965 which has been extended every time it is up for renewal.
That amendment has specific criteria - other criteria are not
addressed. Each state can have its own standards as long as they
do not conflict with the federal standards.
