The 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1971, granted the right to vote to citizens who are 18 years of age or older. This amendment aimed to ensure that younger citizens, particularly those who were being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, had a say in the democratic process. By lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, it expanded political participation and reinforced the principle that age should not be a barrier to voting rights.
