Who can vote—and when that right expanded—shows up in several places on the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test. The hero image above is the 1913 suffrage parade in Washington, D.C., a movement that led to the 19th Amendment. Learn this cluster as one story and you cover Q63, Q97, Q98, and Q102 with short, accepted wording from the official bank.

Q63 — Four amendments about who can vote (describe one)

Question: There are four amendments to the U.S. Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.

Accepted answers (any one):

Say this (official wording)Amendment people usually mean
Citizens eighteen (18) and older (can vote).26th Amendment
You don’t have to pay (a poll tax) to vote.24th Amendment
Any citizen can vote. (Women and men can vote.)19th Amendment
A male citizen of any race (can vote).15th Amendment

The officer needs one correct description from that list—not all four, and not a long history lecture. Pick the line you can say clearly under pressure.

Q97 — Citizenship in the 14th Amendment

Question: What amendment says all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are U.S. citizens?

Accepted answer: 14th Amendment

This is the citizenship rule many applicants meet through naturalization—the same path as Form N-400. Related civics wording on how people become citizens appears in Q68 (be born under the 14th Amendment conditions, naturalize, or derive citizenship under conditions set by Congress).

Practice tip

Say each answer out loud. The civics test is oral. Then take a free scored practice test (20 questions, 12 correct to pass on the 2025 path) and come back a few times a week—that returning practice habit is what interview nerves usually steal. Browse the Rights and Responsibilities section on the practice pages for more context.
