Amendment XXVI
26 or XXVI
In the United States, the right to vote was always established. However, the 15th amendment made it so that voting could not be denied to people, based on their race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Also, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. In addition, the 26th amendment states that the voting age be changed to 18, instead of 21.
No, the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote, but it was the 26th amendment that changed the voting age to 18.

No amendment guarantees the right to vote. There are three that say who cannot be "denied" the right to vote, by reason of race, or gender, or age.The 15th amendment : men cannot be denied the right because of their raceThe 19th amendment : women cannot be denied the vote because of gender.The 26th amendment : those citizens 18 years of age cannot be denied the vote because of their age.
Eighteen year olds due to the 26th Ammendment
No. The twenty-sixth amendment forbids restrictions on the right to vote for citizens 18 years or older.
In the United States, the age of majority was changed from 16 to 18 when the 26th Amendment was ratified in 1971. This amendment granted 18-year-olds the right to vote, aligning the age of majority with the voting age.
The amendment that tells you the age you have to be to vote (eighteen) is the Twenty-Sixth Amendment which was ratified on July 1, 1971.
A Constitutional Amendment must be passed. The XXVII Amendment (?) lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 during the Vietnam War, the argument being that if a young man could be drafted at 18, he ought to be able to vote--and drink; many drinking laws were also changed at this time for the same reason.
Some things...the 15th amendment was said that no citizen's vote could be taken away because of his race or color or because he was once a slave. the 19th amendment stated that all women in the US were allowed to vote. The 22nd amendment limited a presidency of a single person to only 2 terms of office (8 years). The 26th amendment changed the voting age from 21 to 18+.
