2 Repeal the 26th Amendment - Return the voting age back to 21.


Repealing the 26th Amendment wouldn’t return the voting age back to 21. The 26th prohibits states from denying the vote to eligible citizens over the age of 18. If a state wanted to lower the voting age to 15, it could.

To do what you want, we’d need an amendment that not only repealed the 26th, but stipulated that the minimum voting age nation-wide be at 21.
