Not true. The 26th Amendment states that persons 18 years old or older cannot be denied the right to vote due to age. This means a State cannot set its legal voting age above the age of 18. Nothing in the Amendment precludes a State from setting its voting age to be lower than 18.
This Amendment creates a ceiling, not a floor, for the voting age.
