when did 18 become the age to vote?
1971
before the second world war of 1939–1945, the voting age in almost all countries was 21 years or higher. in 1946 czechoslovakia became the first state to reduce the voting age to 20 years, and by 1968 a total of 17 countries had lowered their voting age. many countries, particularly in western europe, reduced their voting ages to 18 years during the 1970s, starting with the united kingdom (1969), with the united states (26th amendment) (1971), canada, west germany (1972), australia (1974), france (1974), and others following soon afterwards. by the end of the 20th century, 18 had become by far the most common voting age. however, a few countries maintain a voting age of 20 years or higher. it was argued that young men could be drafted to go to war at 18, and many people felt they should be able to vote at the age of 18.
