How old do citizens have to be to vote for President?
Official USCIS answers
- eighteen (18) and older
Why this is the answer
The U.S. Constitution sets the minimum voting age at 18 for federal elections, including the President. This rule comes from the 26th Amendment, passed in 1971. States cannot require voters to be older than 18.
💡 Memory tip: Remember '18 to elect' — the 26th Amendment made 18 the voting age.
