Voting Age Amendment Approved in Arkansas Senate
The Arkansas Senate approved a resolution to ratify a constitutional amendment setting 18 as the minimum voting age, voting 29 to 5 after Senate action on March 23. An amendment by Len Morrell Gathright to make passage contingent on 1972 general election approval failed 8 to 26, with several dissenters named. Senator Guy H. Mutt Jones spoke passionately in support, arguing 18 year olds deserve voting rights alongside military service and responsibility.
