Yes, and there should be a maximum voting age after which voters get disenfranchised. If you have no stake in the future, your opinion does not matter.

 @9W7HR93from British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

Yes but with strict regulations on political marketing to teens and requirements for education that is as unbiased as possible

 @9D8TS7BNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, anyone who pays taxes and passes a basic test demonstrating understanding of politics should be allowed to vote

 @8ZLBPMZfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8X5P58Rfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

The voting aged should be lowered but not at the young end, older people (80+) should no longer be able to vote

 @8VWQGM7from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, if it is also implemented that voters be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

 @8VK7PR2from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and more foundational courses available to teach the basics of voting for all

 @8V8Z68Pfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

I believe Canadian citizens aged 16 and over should be allowed to vote.

 @8V2H4LHfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, tax payers able to demonstrate their understanding of politics through a basic test should be able to participate.

 @8V227RZLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

People should be allowed to vote if they turn 18 that year, not just if they are 18 on election day.

yes, but only if they are tested for understanding and maturity in political situations.

 @8RZYF3Mfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8QVLLGTNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, lowered to 16 provided that they have extensive knowledge of politics.

 @8QR7G7Vfrom Northwest Territories  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8QLZ6T7from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

It should be lowered, but a baseline test should be administered to all voters

 @8QKHSWDfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

yes, but they should be required to pass a basic test to ensure their understanding of politics to vote.

 @8QBPS52from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8QB4ZLNfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No but elderly should not be allowed to vote because their opinions are outdated

 @8PZTYQWfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PKB57Xfrom Newfoundland  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PK9B8Ffrom New Brunswick  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but only because we aren’t properly educated on democracy and all matters that surround it.

 @8PK87HQfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes. Age is not a sign of maturity. We should give opportunities to younger and involved citizens.

 @8NZTCXKfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8MCDRLXfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8KJM4TXfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, this should be put into highschool curriculum and students should be able to vote after graduation

 @8K2FWPDfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

If they want to vote and are underage should fill out some sort of easy to get request to vote form but also get to vote if they pay taxes

 @8HMYMSPfrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

 @8DTHR6BNew Democraticfrom Saskatchewan  answered…5yrs5Y

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.

 @8D5WJLPfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but they should have to take a test to ensure they know what their options are and that they've done the research.

 @8CFHMDMfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

 @9C2K6S8from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as they are able to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

 @98VYSK9from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

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 Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but there should be a basic test demonstrating one’s understanding of politics for anyone able to vote.

 @8ZQL6YLfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

I think at age 16, teens are able to understand politics and have a say in who will run the government.

 @97ZPBTJfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if they are evaluated as having a good understanding of their political view

 @8TW6RPQfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Atleast to 17 so students who are born later on can vote in there last year of high school so we can learn how the process works. They don’t teach us much on the topic as it is.

 @8PQWH9Pfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PDQ35Dfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but citizens should be allowed to register to vote before turning 18

 @8FNTRDBfrom Newfoundland  answered…5yrs5Y

 @spaceUnicorn018 from VI  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, any citizen that is able to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics should be allowed to vote

 @8QDSNZY from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

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.
