Which of the following statements about voting rights described is true?

• A. The minimum voting age is 18
• B. Non-citizens can vote in federal elections
• C. Poll taxes are required
• D. Women cannot vote

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how voting eligibility is determined by citizenship and age, plus how constitutional amendments expanded rights. The statement that is true is that the minimum voting age is 18, because the Twenty-Sixth Amendment guarantees that citizens who are 18 years old or older can vote in federal, state, and local elections. This sets 18 as the universal voting age today.

The other statements don’t fit because non-citizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections (citizenship is required for federal voting rights, though some places allow limited local voting by non-citizens), poll taxes were banned by the Twenty-Fourth Amendment (and later Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections extended that protection to state elections), and women have had the right to vote since the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
