Since the frontal cortex (the area of the brain that is for judgment, critical thinking) is not developed until around age 25, should the voting age be raised from 18 (at least in the US, could apply to other countries) to 25?
>>
Yes, it absolutely should.

21 should be the bare minimum, the 26th amendment was a mistake.
>>

Agreed, and I'm only 18 lol. Maybe for the next election cycle?
>>
I'm Mexican and I can't even vote
* raises hands in i dunno *

>>78575710
No, infantilism spreads to a much later age. You're hurting more than you're solving.
>>
Should be 30s, tbqh
>>
18 is fine here in the UK, besides its not practical to change it ... I dont think there's been a time in western democracy where the voting age went up instead of down.
>>
>>78576170
I'm specifically talking about the development of judgment.
>>
>>78576240
Perhaps the influx of socialist millennials who never grew up seeing the effects of communism could be impeded, correct?
>>
>>78575710
Nope. People should have to pass a test that shows that they understand how our government and Constitution is supposed to work. We need to weed out all of the low information voters, and there are plenty of those over the age of 25.
>>
>>78576409
That's what legal immigrants who pass a citizenship test have to go through, right?
>>
>>78576399
yeah I agree, its almost become default to become a leftist. Teenagers are less prone to have superior thinking skills and tend to follow the crowd.

And women. Don't forget women

>voting shouldn't be restricted to soldiers and male property owners
>>
>>78576525
Yup. IMO, the practice tests are easy, but most Americans probably could not pass one.
>>
>>78576872
Unless they took AP Government or AP US History lol
>>
>>78576746
ngl I know this is 4chan but women (despite having different skillsets and rationale) should be treated accordingly to men in terms of the vote... and blacks. The voting age however should be 18-21 in the west.
>>
>>78577014
I kid I kid. I'm just going off of your statement that they vote with the crowd
>>
>>78575710

it needs to be like Starship Troopers. there needs to be a difference between civilian and citizen
>>
>>78575710
if you dont know what you are voting for you shouldnt be allowed to, it's quite simple, no matter of age, elders can be quite stupid too

What about Senile people what should be the maximum voting age?

Also the minumum voting iq?
>>
The maximal legal voting age should be set to 60, since older people won't really get to suffer the consequences of their actions.
I'm 100% serious about this.
>>
>>78575710
Should be 30.

Ehh, a bit to high, t.bh

Yes, it should be 25. It will never happen though, because kikes have a much easier time conditioning college age people into voting a specific way and are easy to use for political purposes and the degradation of society.

imagine if 80% of the US was Californian liberals, add like 10 million chinks and below freezing temperatures, a leader that makes obongo look like Nigel Farage and you have Canada.

Please annex us WE HAVE OIL YOU LIKE OIL RIGHT?
>>
>>78575710
Yeah. 18 is too young and you're impressionable. 25 is a good adult age that helps you conduct what is good
>>
The age to vote should be like from 21 to 60. 18-21 y/o kids don't even care about politics. And 60+ are easily brainwashed (at least here in Serbia).
