Today in 1971: 26th Amendment gives 18-year-olds the right to vote. âThe 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.â.
When the polls open on Election Day, every citizen over the age of 18 will be able to cast a vote. It is a right we take for granted, one that defines our nation as a democracy. But universal suffrage â letting everyone vote â did not appear overnight with the ratification of our Constitution.
