The Twenty-Sixth Amendment was ratified in 1971 and extended voting eligibility to all persons age 18 or older. Prior to this amendment, the minimum age for voting was 21 in most states. The Twenty-Third, Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Fifth, and Twenty-Seventh Amendments did not address the issue of voter eligibility.
