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 made the legal voting age 18 years old for
all state and federal elections.
This image reflects how influential the votes of the younger generation could be if they took a part in federal and state elections.
This is a figure showing the percentage of voters by age and how it has changed over the years. It is overwhelming that the percentage of younger people that vote is so low compared to the older ages. What is this saying about the youth of the United States?
