The last major expansion of suffrage in the United States occurred with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in voting. This landmark legislation prohibited practices like literacy tests and provided federal oversight of voter registration in areas with a history of discriminatory practices. While the 26th Amendment in 1971 extended the voting age to 18, the Voting Rights Act remains the most significant expansion of access to the ballot for marginalized groups.
