This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to significantly alter voting rights in the United States. Its primary purpose is to lower the national voting age to sixteen years old for all citizens, ensuring that their right to vote cannot be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of age. A key provision of this proposal is the repeal of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment , which currently sets the voting age at eighteen. If ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years, this amendment would also grant Congress the authority to enforce its provisions through appropriate legislation.
