🇺🇸 On July 1, 1971 the 26th amendment–which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18–was ratified. Young people fought for its passage, and continue to fight for their rights every day. 🗳️Voting is a powerful way to make your voice be heard. Use it, and help your friends do the same. #democracy #midterms2026 #history #ushistory #politics
