The most important Constitutional Amendment most people have never heard of: The 26th Amendment, the youth vote, and the revitalization of democracy
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War, several states and a bipartisan coalition of Senators enacted the arduous Constitutional amendment process to enact the 26th Amendment, lowering the national voting age to 18 and protecting efforts to infringe the youth vote. Today, with massive political and technological change, many young people report being cynical, distrustful, or disengaged from the electoral process. Yael Bromberg, one of the leading Constitutional scholars and experts on the youth vote, is joined by Montserrat Arredondo Duran, Director of Arizona State's Ed Pastor Center for Politics and Public Service, are joined by Arizona State Junior Mikah Dyer and Arizona State Senior Katie Ritchie, to discuss the logistical and psychological barriers to voting and engagement, and to strategize how the younger generation can overcome these barriers and shape its future.
