@8THSDYH4yrs4Y
Yes, Maybe they can lower the age to 17 instead of 18, but also no because, girls would just pick someone like Trudeau because to them he is cute.

Yes, voters age 16 and up should have the right to vote
@8QRWJZ5New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, it should be raised and voters should be required to pass a test about the political issues to be allowed to vote ie should be mandatory
@8QR7G7V4yrs4Y
No because before voting you must become more mature and more independent in order to not treat an election like a joke, a good example of what happens when you treat and election like a joke is Donald trump who is not only a tax evader and racist but also a rapist and that absolutely makes me sick to my stomach
@8QBPS524yrs4Y
depending on the circumstances. in america, the reelection of trump would’ve hurt/affected LGBT/POC and their communities. minors were watching their rights be debated. in an instance like that, i think the vote should be lowered to 16. plus my generation seems to understand politics and the importance of having good representatives
@8QB4ZLN4yrs4Y
No but elderly should not be allowed to vote because their opinions are outdated
@8PXX99S4yrs4Y
You should be able to vote at 16
@8PM82LC4yrs4Y
The minimum voting age should be lowered on a provincial and municipal level.
@8PK9B8F4yrs4Y
No, but only because we aren’t properly educated on democracy and all matters that surround it.
@8PK87HQ4yrs4Y
Yes. Age is not a sign of maturity. We should give opportunities to younger and involved citizens.
@8NZTCXK4yrs4Y
yes but voters should provide basic knowledge of political topics
@8JGYPSV4yrs4Y
Yes, we should give high school students a chance to vote while they're going to school and can learn what it means
@8DTHR6BNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Yes but voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and basic economic, and socioeconomic principles in order to vote.
@98VYSK92yrs2Y
A maximum voting age should be put in place. Someone with no stake in the future should have a vote on those who it will affect.
@98QNBF4New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, but there should be a basic test demonstrating one’s understanding of politics for anyone able to vote.
@8VVWSSS4yrs4Y
Yes, it should be lowered to 16. Youth voices deserve to be heard.
@8PDQ35D4yrs4Y
No, but citizens should be allowed to register to vote before turning 18
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21
@87W9GJ44yrs4Y
If they're under 18 and pay taxes, they have the right to vote. Or they shouldn't be taxed
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21 to help ensure a more well-informed, tax paying voter
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21 to help ensure a more informed voting public
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
Personally I'm satisfied with the current voting age but if the majority of the people support a lower voting age I will support the popular will of the people.
