Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States extending the right to vote to citizens sixteen years of age or older.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would lower the legal voting age from 18 to 16 for all federal, state, and local elections. If passed and ratified, it would effectively replace the 26th Amendment, which currently guarantees the right to vote to citizens 18 and older. The change would grant approximately 8 million 16- and 17-year-olds the right to participate in the electoral process across the United States. To become part of the Constitution, the proposal would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states.
