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)
@8KQL6XN4yrs4Y
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.
@B4TNH6K8hrs8H
I think you should only be allowed to vote once you moved out on their own and not being influenced by parents or guardians
@B4TKMPG13hrs13H
Ideally, it is not age but knowledge that matters, so if we could test voters on knowledge before allowing them the right to vote, that would be ideal as long as this system is not too costly.
@B4RR92Q4 days4D
Yes and no, it depends on how low they'd go with the age. Mainly just make it easier to get informed on political parties
@B4RNJZY4 days4D
Voting age should be 21 years, 18 year olds are still too young. Lots of 18 year olds have never even had a job.
@B4PS5QV6 days6D
18 years old is fine but some people are very dumb and are not educated enough, I think it veries from person to person.
@B4P8H2V7 days7D
If teens are able to join the military (at 16) then they should be able to vote as well. If they can't vote then they shouldn't be able to join the military. Additionally, I think it should be mandatory to vote.
