There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Which of the following correctly describes one of them?

Reviewed by Jordan Morley, Editorial Lead at 247SimpleTests. Written by the 247SimpleTests Editorial Team from the official source material cited on every question.

Correct answer

Citizens 18 and older can vote — the 26th Amendment (1971) lowered the voting age from 21 to 18

  1. A Only men can vote
  2. B Citizens must own property to vote
  3. C Citizens 18 and older can vote — the 26th Amendment (1971) lowered the voting age from 21 to 18
  4. D Only property owners can vote

Why this is the answer

The FOUR VOTING AMENDMENTS are: 15th Amendment (1870) — citizens cannot be denied the vote based on race; 19th Amendment (1920) — citizens cannot be denied the vote based on sex (gave women the right to vote); 24th Amendment (1964) — citizens cannot be required to pay a poll tax to vote in federal elections; 26th Amendment (1971) — citizens 18 and older have the right to vote. USCIS Question 48 (65/20 list): 'There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.' Any of the four is a correct answer — the 26th Amendment (18-year-olds) is often the most remembered.
