In which Constitutional Amendment is voter age mentioned as 18 years ?
Answer: B
The voting age was lowered to 18 years by the 61st Constitutional Amendment.
The Constitution (Sixty-first Amendment) Act, 1988, which came into force in March 1989, amended Article 326 to reduce the minimum age for voting in elections to the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies from 21 years to 18 years.
The other amendments deal with different subjects. The 73rd Amendment (1992) created the constitutional framework for Panchayati Raj, the 68th extended President's Rule in Punjab, and the 63rd repealed the Emergency provisions earlier added for Punjab. None of them changed the voting age.
