It is 1972 and you are an eighteen year old girl living in Ohio. You are excited to vote for the next president this year, but your brother is angry because he had to wait until he was twenty-one to have the right to vote. This is the first year that eighteen year olds are allowed to vote, thanks to the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age from twenty-one to eighteen.
