The 26th Amendment and Youth Vote

What is the 26th Amendment?

Ratified 50 years ago, on July 1, 1971, the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution extended the right to vote to all Americans aged 18 and older by lowering the federal voting age from 21. Section 1 of the 26th Amendment reads as follows:

The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote,

shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.
