Younger people voting. Congress lowered the national voting age to 18. In the 26th Amendment, the minimum age was set at 18 for both state and national elections. It was ratified in July 1971. It should be noted that the 26th Amendment allows for states to lower the voting age to 17 or even 16, if they so wish.
