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.
@9WJ6SYS1wk1W
I think it depends on what the person’s maturity level is like, and if they want to vote at all. I don’t think most teenagers even want to vote
@9WGXHQL1wk1W
No, if you do or do not pay taxes you should still be allowed to vote only if you are the right age to vote.
@9VDFQK54wks4W
It should be raised and you should have filed and paid your taxes the previous year in order to vote.
@9V5DVQY1mo1MO
While I do agree that it should be lowered I believe that voters should prove that they have a basic understanding of politics and the parties involved before being able to vote.
@9WCQ8L42wks2W
Politics should be taught in schools, so kids can learn about politics, and should be aloud to vote at 16.
@9W8L9CT2wks2W
i mean like i have no problem with the voting age i dont think it should be lowered do i think its ludicriss to have 18 year olds vote yes but also it brings freedom to some kids you know
@9W7HR932wks2W
Yes but with strict regulations on political marketing to teens and requirements for education that is as unbiased as possible
