Which of the following best describes the voting rights established by the 26th Amendment?

The 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution specifically grants the right to vote to all citizens aged 18 and older. Ratified in 1971, the amendment was a response to the argument that individuals who are old enough to be drafted for military service should also have the right to participate in the democratic process through voting. By establishing this age limit universally for all elections, the amendment ensures that young adults have an equal opportunity to influence the outcome of elections at all levels of government, including federal, state, and local elections. This broad application stands in contrast to other choices that suggest limitations or additional requirements that were not part of the amendment's provisions.
