The 15th amendment gave black men the right to vote
The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote
The 26th Amendment gave people 18 and older the right to vote
The Voting Rights Act of 1865 made it illegal to use discriminatory measures to discourage people, specifically blacks people from voting.(Not an amendment)
