"There is nearly universal suffrage for citizens over the age of 18 with few exceptions."
Explanation: The 26th Amendment (1971) guarantees the right to vote for citizens 18 and older; poll taxes are banned (24th Amendment), women vote at rates similar to or higher than men, and felon voting rights vary by state (not universally permanent). Exceptions include non‑citizens, some felon disenfranchisement rules, and certain mental‑competency restrictions.
