Do you think your country should lower the legal voting age? Why or why not? What age do you think it should be?

(As always, please reply or comment on this post to participate in the conversation. No asks will be addressed, sorry)

I think we should absolutely lower the legal voting age. I think the legal voting age should be the same age as the legal working age. If someone can legally work, then they should legally be able to decide what happens to their taxes and such. As far as what age? I think 16. I think 16 is a good minimum age for both voting and working.

I think the legal voting age should be abolished tbh, everybody should get a say in matters that affect them directly, Children are no exception to this.

Consider this: young children being used by their parents as political tools

Yeah the kid has to be old enough to think for themselves. I regurgitated my parents bulls hit political views until I was about 14, and even then it took a while to form my own opinions. I agree that people who have jobs should get a vote, and 16 is about the lowest you could go and have people mature enough to make informed decisions

If you are legally allowed to earn wages or pilot a 4 ton machine on public roads, then you should be allowed to vote
