I definitely think one should earn the right to vote, but perhaps a bit more refined than just landowners.
Maybe base it out of an aggregate consideration on IQ, psych evaluations, accomplishments, family and many other things that could be used as an qualifier.
Also I believe not all votes should count the same, and it should all be based on merit, maybe you earn the right but your vote is still simple, only counts for 1, but you have the chance, say 10 years later, to go through the process once more, and up your "level", of course having bettered yourself in the meantime.
Something like this must happen.
Not necessarily performance based, it's just that said performance is a very good measure of capacity.
Let's call it performance based then, also known as meritocracy, you're against it?
