Your brain is not fully developed until age 25. This is medically absolute fact. Letting 18 year old people vote is tangential to letting high school students vote.
@9F976D87mos7MO
But the thing is, if we constrain the voting age to adults, young adults will never get a say in picking their governments. Do we really want that?
@9JM6BQQ3mos3MO
The average 18-year-old barely knows who they want to be or what party they most align with, then expecting younger teens or kids to have a complete understanding of it all, I think that wouldn't be wise and there is a good chance that this choice could be abused by parents or the kids themselves, so why not let them grow up and mature their own opinions and wait for them to be an adult about the situation.
@9HQHGWB4mos4MO
We need our voters to be able to make educated descions on who is going to be in charge, and most adults cant even provide an educated vote, so nevermind younger people.
@9FM8NHS7mos7MO
I think people should be older then 18.I don't think people are mature enough to make decision on who should be running a country.
@9FH887S7mos7MO
I think 18 is a good age because people have enough life experience to make better choices that are true to them
@9FFK4W47mos7MO
Young people are easily manipulated and do not make good decision. Voting should be based on contribution to the society. Young people have not yet contributed.
@9FCP65B7mos7MO
Anyone over the age of 14 in court is tried as an adult for a serious offense. It makes no sense that we allow that, but give them no say in the future of our country.
@9FBWSLQ7mos7MO
Voters must be mature, and be old enough to hear and process information relating to society, culture, and politics in a meaningful way, for a couple years, before being allowed to vote. Elections must be decided by informed, mature people
@9FDHMVXNew Democratic7mos7MO
People under 18 aren’t as well developed as those above the legal age. They don’t have enough life experience to make that decision.
@9F85T228mos8MO
No one wants a child run the country but, at one point, those children are a week or year away from becoming legal adults. Why shouldn't the people who will make the new generation not be able to vote?
