Court Backs Vote for Youths in Federal Elections
The Supreme Court upheld the 1970 Voting Rights Law provision allowing 18-year-olds to vote in national elections and abolished long residence requirements for president voting while banning literacy tests nationwide for five years. It ruled Congress cannot force states to let 18-year-olds vote in state or local elections. Justice Black helped form the majority on the 18-year-old vote, with other justices aligning differently on residence rules and literacy tests. The decision reflects a split on state control versus federal enfranchisement.
