Allow doing away with European era voting rights (8)
I believe the answer is:
suffrage
'voting rights' is the definition.
'suffrage' can be an answer for 'voting' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'rights' bit.
'allow doing away with european era' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'doing' could be 'rag' (rag is a kind of doing) and 'rag' is present in the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suffrage that I've seen before include "The right to vote, as won by women" , "The right to vote in political elections" .)
