Voting Age Amendment Faces House Action in 1972 Election
The SE United States House of Representatives adjourned last Thursday after defeating a plan to fund a separate transport system and will reconvene to vote on a proposed amendment raising the voting age to 18 for all elections. The Senate has approved, and ratification by three quarters of states is required, with timing critical ahead of the 1972 elections. Lawmakers fear 18 through 20 year olds may need separate ballots unless ratified, but the measure aims to unify all voters starting with the next federal ballots.
