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.

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

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.

It should be raised and you should have filed and paid your taxes the previous year in order to vote.

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.

Politics should be taught in schools, so kids can learn about politics, and should be aloud to vote at 16.

Yes but with strict regulations on political marketing to teens and requirements for education that is as unbiased as possible
