Official answer

  • Citizens eighteen (18) and older (can vote).
  • You don't have to pay (a poll tax) to vote.
  • Any citizen can vote. (Women and men can vote.)
  • A male citizen of any race (can vote).

Explanation

Four amendments extended the vote: the Fifteenth (race), the Nineteenth (sex), the Twenty-fourth (no poll tax) and the Twenty-sixth, which set the voting age at eighteen. Property tests and literacy tests are exactly what these amendments and later civil rights laws removed.
