In the United States, the 26th Amendment to the Constitution lowered the minimum voting age from 21 to 18. It was argued that 18-year-olds were being drafted to fight in Vietnam, but they didn't have the right to vote.
The 26th Amendment extended the vote to 18-year-olds. "The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
