During the vietnam war, what voting rights were changed by the 26th amendment? a. it lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 so those going to war could vote on the politicians deciding their future. b. if you joined the military, you could have the right to vote, no matter what your age was. c. if you were drafted into the military, you could have the right to vote, no matter what your age was. d. it raised the voting age to 21, allowing people to mature before having the right to vote.

The correct answer is A. It lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 so those going to war could vote on the politicians deciding their future.

The 26th amendment passed in March 1971. It lowered the minimum age to vote from 21 to 18. This amendment was a result of pressure from young Americans that created the slogan “old enough to fight, old enough to vote”.

The US Supreme Court ruled that the Congress had the right to regulate the minimum voting age in federal elections but the states had to ratify the amendment. Because of this, Georgia was the first state to lower its voting age.
