Question

What election laws were affected by the Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth, and Twenty-sixth Amendments?

Answer 1

Each of these amendments affected how we do elections today, and are a very important part of our government.

Seventeenth: Allowed for regular citizens to vote for their United States Senators, instead of having the state legislature do it.

Nineteenth: Said that civilians could not be prohibited to vote based off of their gender, or in causal terms, gave women the right to vote.

Twenty-Third: Gave the area in which the seat of the government was in (District of Columbia) the right to vote.

Twenty-Fourth: Abolished the "poll taxes," which was a fare that governments required citizens to pay to be able to cast their vote.

Twenty-Sixth: Clarified that any citizens who were over 18 were allowed to vote, and that anyone, any age older than that could not have their age used as grounds to stop them from voting.
