Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?
The push is to lower the voting age to 16. Plus, I doubt making it optional until 18 would change many people’s minds on whether or not we should lower the voting age.
