The voting age of 18 was set by the 26th Amendment, which was ratified in 1971. Congress proposed the amendment, and it was later ratified by the required number of states. The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote, but did not address the voting age. The Supreme Court has heard cases related to voting rights, but did not set the voting age. The states may set some voting rules, but the 26th Amendment established the minimum voting age for federal elections.
