Section 1. The 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.
Congress attempted to lower the voting age to 18 for all elections in the Voting Rights Act of 1970, but the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not set the voting age for state elections in ''Oregon v. Mitchell'', 400 U.S. 112 (1970). The states ratified this Amendment in record time - less than four months after Congress passed it.
