There are some incredibly smart kids that know more than the average adult about worldly topics and politics. Perhaps, when younger aged, they can write a short and simple test to show their competence in order to vote.
@B25LX3V7 days7D
Yes, but have it that voters from 16-18 must pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and must be taxpayers (like income or property)
@9ZDNVZN1mo1MO
16 should be the youngest age. If they start voting before leaving home, they may continue after they leave home. I so badly wanted to vote at age 16.
@9ZBHBNV2mos2MO
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.
@9YNCRS72mos2MO
No, there should be a test demonstrating their basic understanding of politics but if failed should only warn the individual they shouldn't vote but still let them
@9YCMSKN2mos2MO
No it should there should be a iq and eq test to make sure the individual is smart enough to vote. cause some people at 15 are more mature than a grown adult. i think it should be over 15 though.
@B24XS7D1wk1W
It matters less about age and if they actually understand party policies and how that will affect the country.
@9ZYD7ZL3wks3W
Old people shouldn’t be able to vote (80+) because they will die before they see the effects of their vote
