Four amendments are about who can vote. Which describes one of them?
Citizens 18 and older can vote.
- Only landowners can vote
- Citizens 16 and older can vote
- Citizens 18 and older can vote ✔
Why: The voting amendments say citizens 18 and older can vote, no poll tax, women can vote, and male citizens of any race can vote. There is no landowner rule or age 16 rule.
Huh, didn't know that: The 26th Amendment lowered the national voting age from 21 to 18 in 1971.
Why did the ballot box smile? Everyone was dropping by to say hi.
