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

Correct answer

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

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