Electoral District (2011):
No, but if someone under 21 wants to vote, they are required to pass a test demonstrating their understanding of politics and outcomes of policies.
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
No. I believe that the writers of the Constitution were divinely inspired (I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). I personally believe (not a church opinion or anything. My own) that the reason they said only land-owning men should vote was to prevent the uneducated from making bad voting decisions. While I believe that women and non-property owners should be allowed to vote, I think it is wise to find a way to preserve the original intent. So perhaps voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote. This should NOT include calling certain OPINIONS right or wrong.

The voting age to be at the age of 21 years, repeal the 26th amendment
@michaelconnely3yrs3Y
If you are in the military, you should be able to vote at any age.
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, but we should increase efforts to educate the youth about critical thinking and politics.
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, but we should allow people above the age of 18 to run for public office.
@49VGR683yrs3Y
Regardless, constitutional rights should be on a level playing field. If I have to be 21 to get a gun, the voting age should match or vice versa.
@RichardYRodgers5yrs5Y
No, but don’t tax the income of citizens too young to vote. No taxation without representation.
@8SGXQ5C4yrs4Y
No only those who are 24 or older should vote
