Yes, but have it that voters from 16-18 must pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and must be taxpayers (like income or property)
@8KQL6XN5yrs5Y
There are some incredibly smart kids that know more than the average adult about worldly topics and politics. Perhaps, when younger aged, they can write a short and simple test to show their competence in order to vote.

I think 16 year old should be able to vote as they learn politics in grade 11 and 12 and they're probably more educated than most adults
@B5WZKQJ3wks3W
They should be allowed to vote but it doesn't count. They may not k ow enough quote yet at 16-17 to vote, but this way we could see how their votes could have impacted results and parties would be better viable to modify/future set their policies to accommodate changing demographics.
@B5N543S2mos2MO
If they are under age they should have to take a test to show if they are responsible enough to make an educationable decision.
@B5GPN3C2mos2MO
It should be raised to 25 (at the youngest), and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating critical thinking skills and the ability to see through political grandstanding.
@B55B8MW2mos2MO
No, but i believe there should be a cut off age. People over a certain age group are no longer eligible.
