Electoral District (2011):
@9ZBHBNV5mos5MO
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.
@9W7HR936mos6MO
Yes but with strict regulations on political marketing to teens and requirements for education that is as unbiased as possible
@9D8TS7BNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, anyone who pays taxes and passes a basic test demonstrating understanding of politics should be allowed to vote
@8VB8DNL4yrs4Y
people turning 17 the year of the elevation should be able to vote
@8V8Z68P4yrs4Y
I believe Canadian citizens aged 16 and over should be allowed to vote.
@8TZSPC94yrs4Y
Yes, it should be lowered to 16 in order to encourage youth participation in politics.
@8TV69874yrs4Y
Yes to 16 but they have to apply for the right at that age and prove basic general knowledge
As long as they pass a basic test that shows their understanding of politics.
if you are able drive I feel as if you should be able to vote
@8SL99XN4yrs4Y
Yes, being lowered to 16 would be good.-
@8QVLLGTNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, lowered to 16 provided that they have extensive knowledge of politics.
@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No but elderly should not be allowed to vote because their opinions are outdated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
@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
@8KJM4TX4yrs4Y
Yes, this should be put into highschool curriculum and students should be able to vote after graduation

As long as schools incorporate more political teachings in school.

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.
@8CFHMDM5yrs5Y
No, but we shouldn’t tax underage workers since they can’t vote.
@8VVWSSS4yrs4Y
Yes, it should be lowered to 16. Youth voices deserve to be heard.
@93HRFQ43yrs3Y
No, but there should be a maximum voting/political age
@8DYL8MN5yrs5Y
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.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21 to help ensure a more well-informed, tax paying voter

No, it should be raised to age 21 to help ensure a more informed voting public
