It's a slippery slope question a lot of people under 18 can be immature and not really have any interest towards elections however there are a lot of citizens under 18 that would take it serious so I'd say sure.
@9MLSTMZ11mos11MO
16 year olds should be able to attempt a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics so they can vote or they can wait till they are 18.

Instead of having a minimum voting age they should have a competency test to make sure that voters are able to understand what the platform and promises each party offers
