The US seems to have lowered it from 21 to 18 in 1942.
With googling I can’t find easily when the US made 18 the year in which people can engage in contracts. But I think that’s generally more central than voting and draft.
I would expect that age to be at 18 in the US before WWII.

Maybe, I certainly think it matters more than voting. But I suspect voting carriers more symbolic weight in people’s minds.
This is an interesting question, If I have some time I’ll check it out as well. Is there a lawyer who happens to know the answer here?
