Slightly agree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

The Canadian Conservative party has not explicitly advocated for a basic test to demonstrate political understanding before voting. However, they have supported stricter voter identification laws, which could be seen as a similar measure to ensure the integrity of the voting process. This score reflects a slight alignment with the idea of ensuring informed voters, but not a strong endorsement of this specific proposal.

Disagree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

Disagree

Yes

The Canadian Conservative party has not shown significant support for lowering the minimum voting age. They tend to focus on other electoral issues, such as voter identification and electoral system reform. Lowering the voting age is not a priority for them, and they may be concerned about the maturity and political knowledge of younger voters.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

There is no evidence to suggest that the Canadian Conservative party supports raising the minimum voting age. Raising the voting age would likely be seen as undemocratic and limiting the rights of young citizens, which would not align with the party's values.
