Yet there are those who are denied that "right" based on various legal whimsy such as being dishonorably discharged from the military or being a felon. The term for this is "Criminal Disenfranchisement".

But you emphasized the wrong part. It says the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State
on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. . . ." So criminal disenfranchisement is okay under the Constitution.
