Court Test Under Way On 18 Year Voting Age Law
President Nixon signed the Voting Rights Act of 1970 directing a speedy court test of the provision lowering the voting age to 18. Alfred Avins, a New York lawyer, filed suit in U S District Court in DC on behalf of five New York voters arguing Congress lacked authority to lower the age and that it dilutes their votes. The case could become the Supreme Court’s vehicle when it reconvenes in October, with likely upholding Congress power for presidential elections but possible limits for state and local elections.
