Electoral District (2011):
I think phasing in the right to vote (municipal, provincial and then later on federal) is a more reasonable path to ensuring lifelong participants in our democracy
@9D8TS7BNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, anyone who pays taxes and passes a basic test demonstrating understanding of politics should be allowed to vote
@96RTBYZ2yrs2Y
Educated tax paying and tested on knowledge of system and what are the platforms and policies up for election
@8ZLBPMZ3yrs3Y
Any citizen who can pass a basic test should be allowed to vote

Lowered to 18 nationwide.
@8V8Z68P4yrs4Y

@8TZSPC94yrs4Y
Yes, it should be lowered to 16 in order to encourage youth participation in politics.
@8TWGK2T4yrs4Y
No, and voting should be mandatory.
@8QBPS524yrs4Y
depending on the circumstances. in america, the reelection of trump would’ve hurt/affected LGBT/POC and their communities. minors were watching their rights be debated. in an instance like that, i think the vote should be lowered to 16. plus my generation seems to understand politics and the importance of having good representatives
@8PXX99S4yrs4Y
You should be able to vote at 16
@8PM82LC4yrs4Y
The minimum voting age should be lowered on a provincial and municipal level.
@8PK9B8F4yrs4Y
No, but only because we aren’t properly educated on democracy and all matters that surround it.
@8PK87HQ4yrs4Y
Yes. Age is not a sign of maturity. We should give opportunities to younger and involved citizens.
@8HMYMSP4yrs4Y
As long as schools incorporate more political teachings in school.
@8DTHR6BNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Yes but voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and basic economic, and socioeconomic principles in order to vote.
@8D76LYV5yrs5Y
Yes but voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and must pay taxes.
@98QNBF4New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, but there should be a basic test demonstrating one’s understanding of politics for anyone able to vote.
@8VVWSSS4yrs4Y
Yes, it should be lowered to 16. Youth voices deserve to be heard.
@8PDQ35D4yrs4Y
No, but citizens should be allowed to register to vote before turning 18
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21
@87W9GJ44yrs4Y
If they're under 18 and pay taxes, they have the right to vote. Or they shouldn't be taxed
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21 to help ensure a more well-informed, tax paying voter
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
Personally I'm satisfied with the current voting age but if the majority of the people support a lower voting age I will support the popular will of the people.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, it should be raised to age 21 to help ensure a more informed voting public
