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.

Yes, lowered to 16 provided that they have extensive knowledge of politics.
@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
@8QLZ6T74yrs4Y
It should be lowered, but a baseline test should be administered to all voters
@8QKHSWD4yrs4Y
yes, but they should be required to pass a basic test to ensure their understanding of politics to vote.
@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

No but elderly should not be allowed to vote because their opinions are outdated

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