On July 1, 1971, when the 26th Amendment was ratified, it became impermissible for states to deny citizens eighteen years of age or older the right to vote. However, Georgia (in 1943) and Kentucky (in 1955) had previously lowered the minimum voting age to 18.

States are not prohibited by the the 26th Amendment from lowering the voting age below 18.
