That depended critically on who exactly were the /Demos/, the people. You were not a member of the demos unless your grandfather had been, and you were male, and you were free. No /metic/ could vote in the Assembly, i.e. those who were not citizens by birth and descent; they were considered resident aliens no matter how many generations they had been in Athens. I'm not aware of a property qualification under the democracy, or Socrates would not have had the vote, he was a sandalmaker, a craftsman.
