No, if you're a free citizen you're eligible.  There were no explicit voting restrictions based on race (although several states did not allow free blacks to live within their borders and/or allow them to become citizens).

Weren't women allowed to vote in some states, too, provided they were property owners?

only in NJ and only until 1807.

Why'd they repeal it?

It was really quite easy to point out the hazards of such a law.
