The Twenty-sixth Amendment that enfranchised 18-to-20-year -olds led to reduction in the national voter turnout rate.

The Twenty-sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States extended voting rights to citizens between the ages of 18 and 20. Earlier, the voting age was set at 21 and above.

The call to reduce the voting age became particularly salient after the Vietnam War. Young men between the age of 18 and 21 were drafted into the armed forces or to support military operations. After the war, proponents of extending voting rights coined the slogan “old enough to fight, old enough to vote”.

The result of lowering the voting age was that the national voter turnout rate declined.

<u>Answer: </u>

The factor that would be least important to know while interpreting the result of the survey would be the percentage of the people responding who were interviewed on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

<u>Explanation: </u>

For a study that is concerned with issues or operations that have been going on for a long time, the day or time at which the study was conducted does not make a great difference, especially when the margin of the period between the days the study was conducted is very small.
When an interview about an issue that is of periodic significance is to be conducted, the period or the time of the interview does matter a lot.
