✦ OFFICIAL ANSWER ✦

Citizens eighteen (18) and older (can vote); You don't have to pay (a poll tax) to vote; Any citizen can vote (Women and men can vote); A male citizen of any race (can vote)

Why This Is the Answer

Four amendments address voting rights. Describe one: the 15th (men of any race can vote), 19th (women can vote), 24th (no poll tax), and 26th (age 18 and older can vote).

Memory aid: 15-19-24-26: Black men, Women, No Tax, Age 18. Each amendment expanded democracy to include more Americans.

These amendments tell the story of voting in America — a gradual expansion from a limited group to all adult citizens.
