No amendment guarantees the right to vote. There are three that say who cannot be "denied" the right to vote, by reason of race, or gender, or age.

The 15th amendment : men cannot be denied the right because of their race

The 19th amendment : women cannot be denied the vote because of gender.

The 26th amendment : those citizens 18 years of age cannot be denied the vote because of their age.
