Electoral District (2011):
@B45NRM74wks4W
Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be required to pass a test demonstrating their understanding of politics to vote
@B2XCC2L2mos2MO
Individuals under the age of 18 should not be able to vote as if they were of age however, we should implement a way for young peoples voices to have a say in politics. Such as a school collective vote.
@9K8HRYH1yr1Y
I say yes, it should be lowered to 16, many old people say that young adults live in the moment, yes that is somewhat true, we also don't want to be completely screwed over because older people made poor decisions that will now hinder our lives
@9FBJ56D2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as they have a job, and can drive. They also would have to lower the age for the drivers test of Canada.
@8XZMDGY3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if voters under the age of 21 complete a government test varifying their understanding of the political system and the functioning of elections.
@8VVD7Z44yrs4Y
16 is a good age, as they learn in high school the importance of politics
@8VVB9NJNew Democratic4yrs4Y
The right to vote should depend on maturity and knowledge as opposed to age.
@8VJ33RX4yrs4Y
Yes. To 17. Younger people who are learning this in school would be more likely to vote and continue voting.
@8VGQNCP4yrs4Y
Yes, anyone that passes a basic test understanding politics should be allowed to vote
@8VG6MFS4yrs4Y
In my opinion, as soon as a citizen takes part in social life (like working, volunteering), they shouls have the right to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote. If they pass, they're good to vote.
P.S. In naddition, they can pass this test every time before voting as long as they enter a voting age
@8PK87HQ4yrs4Y
Yes. Age is not a sign of maturity. We should give opportunities to younger and involved citizens.
@8VZ94YC4yrs4Y
Yes, but voters under the age of 18 should pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote.
