The Twenty-sixth Amendment was proposed by Congress on March 23, 1971, upon passage by the House of Representatives, the Senate having previously passed an identical resolution on March 10, 1971. Ratification was completed on July 1, 1971, when action by the legislature of the 38th State, North Carolina, was concluded, and the Administrator of the General Services Administration officially certified it to have been duly ratified on July 5, 1971. This amendment allowed extended the right to vote to 18-year-olds. In recent years, many in the U.S. had complained that 18-year-olds could be drafted into the military and sent off to die for their country but they were not allowed to vote for the politicians who might send them there. President Nixon certified the amendment in a signing ceremony at the White House on July 5th.
