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 would propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would extend voting rights to citizens aged 16 and older, lowering the current minimum voting age of 18. If enacted, this amendment would allow 16-year-olds to participate in federal, state, and local elections. The proposal is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the House and referred to committee for consideration.

As a constitutional amendment, this proposal would require approval by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by at least three-fourths of state legislatures before it could become part of the Constitution. The practical effect, if ultimately ratified, would be to expand the electorate to include millions of additional young voters who are currently ineligible to vote despite being able to work and pay taxes in many jurisdictions.
