Usage Note
Suprahiyo, from Spanish 'sufragio,' refers to the right to vote or the system of voting. It appears in formal political discourse, civic education, and electoral law discussions. In modern everyday speech, Filipinos more commonly use 'boto' (vote) or 'karapatang bumoto' (right to vote), so suprahiyo is encountered mainly in academic or historical texts.
