The Constitutional Amendment that prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on age for citizens who are 18 years or older is the 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971. This amendment specifically ensures that citizens who are 18 years old cannot be denied the right to vote based on their age. It was a significant step in expanding voting rights to younger citizens, reflecting the belief that those old enough to serve in the military should also have the right to participate in elections.
