Twenty-Sixth Amendment

Section 1.

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

Section 2.

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment allows any person older than 18 year old to vote. The age of voting wasn't always eighteen until before the Vietnam War, many young citizens started to protest because they could be eighteen and serve in the military and not vote.

This is a newspaper article about voting at 18 becoming legal in the United States.
