In Aristotle's conception of democracy, which he discusses in his work "Politics," the eligible voters were free male citizens of the city-state, excluding women, slaves, and foreigners. These citizens had the right to participate in decision-making processes, as they were considered the only individuals capable of rational thought and public deliberation. Thus, voting was limited to a specific demographic that held social and political privileges within the polis.
