Voting Age Changed to 18

In July 1971 the right to vote in US elections was lowered from 21 to 18. The drive was driven by the draft conscription of young men between the ages of 18 and 21 into the United States Armed Forces, primarily to serve in Vietnam. A common slogan of proponents was “old enough to fight, old enough to vote.”
