As far as I know, there has never been a written law tying suffrage to conscription, at least in the U.S., but we did have an understanding that the two should go together, at least for men.

During the Vietnam War there was a push to pass an amendment to the constitution (26th) that reduced the voting age from 21 to 18. This was because 18 year old young men were being conscripted. You can find countless images of banners and pins saying "old enough to fight, old enough to vote," just by google searching "26th amendment." Originally, the minimum age to be conscripted had been 21, the same as the minimum voting age, but that had been lowered to 18 during WWII (the maximum age was also increased to 37). At the time, everyone was kinda focused on supporting the war effort, so not much thought was placed on fair voting rights for young men, but when people did start paying attention to it, male conscription was used to justify increased suffrage, but 18 year old women benefitted from this, even though they were never conscripted.

Conscription has absolutely been an important part of suffrage, except for women.
