Electoral District (2011):
@B45B5B24wks4W
I think there needs to be a basic understanding that older generations need to understand that we are building a better canada for future generations not their hypocritical views
It should be raised to 20 years of age as someone by that age should have experience what life is like with the current system.1
@9JB99CV1yr1Y
As long as you know what politics is all about like the main understanding of politics then i think you have the right to vote so my answer is yes.
@9GRFFP61yr1Y
If the age for driving is 16 and drinking is 18/19 I think that voting and the above should all be at the same age
@9FP3MRZ2yrs2Y
the age range should be higher because 18-year-olds are considered an adult doesn't mean they know what there doing
@8ZW3F4L3yrs3Y
it really depends on the person really many teens are able to understand the gov far more better then some adults it really depends on the person
@8Z6P9KQ3yrs3Y
Yes, so long as the voter has a decent understanding of each political party, knows which party they support/oppose, and know the ramifications of voting and not voting.
@8YNQWJ53yrs3Y
@8Y3QR3B3yrs3Y
Yes as long as they have a basic understanding of politics and are a contributing member to society
@8X5K89Q3yrs3Y
Yes and no, 18 is when your an adult but 16 years of age to me is good enough to choose who you'd like to run your country because at that age you should be responsible enough to do so
@8WY7HZY3yrs3Y
No, because older people will think of there community and what i needs younger wont
@8WCMF864yrs4Y
They should lower it to the age of 16
@8T9GVM84yrs4Y
There should be no voting and the prime minister should hold ultimate power
Yes voters under 18 just have to pass a basic test of political
@8R22C5T4yrs4Y
as long as people et educated in the the system as being new to the voting system may cause troubler and cause people not to vote
@8QFTYJBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I think it should be lowered mainly when it comes to stances on the education system because the students/minors are the ones being educated so I believe they should have a say in how they're being taught.
@8HXV5DM5yrs5Y
Yes, only if they can understand the importance of politics
@8H49GN45yrs5Y
i dont really care if they want to sure
@8FF8G2Q5yrs5Y
younger citizens should be able to have a say in who they would like to have as their Prime Minister.
@8DTHR6BNew Democratic5yrs5Y
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.
@9B5XRKX2yrs2Y
It's already fine the way it is.
@99SZGB32yrs2Y
Yes since the youngsters have seen things both good and bad happen so they are aware of who to support.
@997DFMN2yrs2Y
No, at least not lower than 16
@9954Y8V2yrs2Y
it depends on the behavior
@8RHYJZXConservative4yrs4Y
Voters should prove that they have basic understanding of politics and then be able to vote
