I think phasing in the right to vote (municipal, provincial and then later on federal) is a more reasonable path to ensuring lifelong participants in our democracy

 @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

 @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

 @8VC7GC8Liberalfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

yes, so long as the school system adjusts their learning criteria so that young people can fully understand what their vote is working towards

 @8V8Z68Pfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8TZSPC9from Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, it should be lowered to 16 in order to encourage youth participation in politics.

 @8TV8FYTLibertarianfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes if they pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

 @8TV6987from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes to 16 but they have to apply for the right at that age and prove basic general knowledge

 @8TJ52WTLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

As long as they pass a basic test that shows their understanding of politics.

 @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

 @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

 @8PN3MPXNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

If a person really wants to vote and he is not old enough. He could take a quiz that tests his intelligence on politics and if he failed then no, if he passed then yes

 @8PM82LCfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

The minimum voting age should be lowered on a provincial and municipal level.

 @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.

 @8KJM4TXfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @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.

 @9CRDQ9Kfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @8VVWSSSfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8DYL8MNfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

The voting age should stay the same, however there should be mandated courses or education that ensures voters have the necessary and correct information to know who and what they are really voting for.

 @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.

 @85QL69F from Florida  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, if they pay taxes and have a basic understanding of politics and what they are voting for

 @7KCBJ6J from Utah  answered…4yrs4Y

 @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
