the minimum voting age should be 16 years and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote.

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.

I think everyone who is over 16 should be allowed to vote. All ages should have to show that they have some understanding of what the parties stand for and why they support their party so they are not just voting the same as other people.

I believe it should be but ensure that voters and the education system can teach more about political parties and politics.
