Early on, one had to be a white male to be able to vote. Also, one had to own a certain amount of property.

You had to be an educated person who owned property. This excluded anyone who was a slave or an indentured servant at the time.

Prior to 1820, the qualifications to vote excluded a lot of people from being able to do so. The qualifications included being white, being male and being a property owner.
