I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is: They wanted to provide young people with the chance to vote, specifically lowering the voting age to 18 in all federal, state, and local elections. The passing of the 26th Amendment in 1971 was a response to the Vietnam War and the argument that if 18-year-olds were old enough to fight and be drafted into war, they should also have the right to vote.
