The three amendments that added voting rights were the 15th, 19th and 26th amendments. The 15th amendment gave black men the right to vote. The 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. The 26th amendment gave those over 18 years of age the right to vote.
Amendment 15 forbids the use of color, race, or previous slave status to refuse the right to vote.
Amendment 19 granted the right of women to vote.
Amendment 26 establishes the right to vote to all persons aged 18 and above.
There are currently 4.
15th: Prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
19th: Prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on gender
24th: Prohibits the revocation of voting rights due to the non-payment of a "poll tax" or any other tax
26th: Prohibits the denial of the right of US citizens, eighteen years of age or older, to vote on account of age.
The 14th Amendment also addresses some voting rights indirectly.
Section 1 of the Amendment states:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (Since voting is a privilege of citizenship, this should have been sufficient to grant voting rights to all former slaves by granting them citizenship.)
Section 2 of the Amendment states:
"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. (This section effectively allowed states to get away with denying voting rights by just penalizing the state by reducing their representation in proportion to the number of men they disenfranchised - remember women didn't get the vote until the 19th Amendment. That's the reason the 15th Amendment was required. Note that they still got to count former Confederate Soldiers and such who were being denied voting rights due to being part of the "rebellion".)
Name the three amendments that guarantee or address voting rights.
I know that the 15th and 19th guarantee it, but not sure of the other one. The 15th is to vote regardless of race, and the 19th is voting regardless of sex. Hope this helps!
