Lower Voting Age to 18 Proposed by Senate
Washington Oct 19 The Senate opened debate on a proposed constitutional amendment to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 while considering House approved draft measures. Senator Vandenberg said the change would allow 18 and 19 year olds drafted for war to vote on government. The amendment would require ratification by three fourths of states after congressional approval. Debate on related measures and the draft program began with leaders noting possible opposition and administration stance. The Military Committee cited military leaders noting 18 and 19 year olds are essential and better suited for combat, with Axis powers relying on youth forces. The report outlined the army growth goals and regional distributions.
