The Voting Age In Voting

Why? It will give politicians a real true reason to respect the desire of the adolescents wanting to vote. Lowering the voting age could and would be a great idea. This is why the government should consider lowering the voting age to 16 .So young adults, teenagers and adolescent whatever you may call them. Get a chance to choose the right politician in the political election to help then now and later in their future life ahead of them to help them be

British dramatist Shakespeare once said that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Through the ages, controversies about voting age have not quieted down, and there are more and more different opinions about voting age like it should increase to 21, or it should decrease to 17 or 16, even 13. Like a coin has two sides, each opinion has both advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, I prefer the voting age to be 18 in the United States. Teenagers who are 18 years old are independent enough to make their own decisions, and they should have the vote right as other adults do.

It listed in the article that only 38% of people between the ages of 18-24 voted in 2012, with a total percentage of people who voted being 62%.That being said if you lower the voting age to 16 the percentage of voters is going to decrease.

By allowing 16 years old to vote, it could make them more interested in politics. Before voting, they will want to investigate about each party and the policies they have. Which in turn could will make them more interested in politics. There is an urgent need for younger people to get involved in politics and by lowering the voting age this could create a new wave of politicians. By allowing 16 years old to vote, schools will have to teach politics in school and go into greater depth about politics.

Should the voting age be lowered to 16 years old? There's some pretty good reasons to! Sixteen-year-olds should be allowed to vote because it is a better starting age for voting, and it will help to ease the problem of not enough people voting. Plus, they already have plenty of adult-like responsibilities. Why not voting?

If maturity is the issue, it important to take into account that 16 year olds are just as informed as 18 year olds (in some cases more so). In fact there could be many 20, 30, or even 40 year olds who are irresponsible, do not make informed decisions and are clueless; this does not mean we deny them the right vote. Just because they are older necessarily does not mean they know everything in detail about politics because they have more life experience and can make better informed judgements than a 16 year old.

In my position I agree to lower the age of voting to 16-17 years old because it can raise up the percentage of voting. Many people are not voting because they don't believe it can help them and their community also with the support from 16-17 years old, it can show a huge difference on how the votes are increasing little by little. Also it can gives them experience on what's the voting like. Once they get older, they will know what to do because they registered the vote in an

For most teenagers turning 16 means an opportunity to drive without supervision and starting college. A new campaign is hoping to give these teenagers the ability to vote in local elections. The Vote16USA aims to reduce the age of voting from the current age of 18 to 16. The objective of this campaign is to promote the participation of youth in politics. The campaign has ignited debate over issues such as the competency of their decision making and whether allowing people as young as 16 is the best way to engage the youth.

In her article, “Takoma Park 16-year-old savors his history making moment at the poll,” Annys Shin explains into debt of the issue of whether or not 16 and 17-year old citizens should be allowed to vote. I believe that 16 and 17-year olds should be allowed to vote because they are affected by many of the political issues that are being debated on today.

Imagine, you’re sixteen years old, you can drive, you have a job, you pay taxes, you can be tried in court as an adult, yet you have no voice when it comes to the elections. Because of this, the minimum voting age should be reduced to 16.

Imagine, a world where the young people had a voice in American politics! Probably, a scary thought to some adults. However, what if young people did have a voice, in American politics. In this case, the right to vote. The right to vote has been in an issue, in our culture for years. From people being the opposite sex, to people of a different skin tone. The right to vote has always been the issue, of who could vote. The voting age in America is 18, but the question is, should it be lowered to 15. I do agree the voting age should be lowered to 15. The right to vote is an important right, it would promote political participation and there are no wrong votes.

Voting is what allows our governement to make the best decisions for our country. However some people believe that we should allow younger voters (16 years of age) to vote for our country. I would have to disagree with such beliefs for three reasons: the voting rate of young voters is already low as it is, it would decrease the currently low voting rates, and the lack of participation questions the young voters civic responsibility.

America’s voting age requirement is 18. As a result, teenagers often feel disenfranchised by the political system, turning away from political involvement and civic engagement. Unable to participate in the political system, shut out from the democratic process, teenagers today are just opting out, neglecting current events until they’re older and can “actually make a difference,”
