Seems a bit unfair
You really think when they are still doing school and living with parents unless parents died, that they really understand a decision that really impacts your country?

Fucking ageist scum check your adult privilege.
I may have the body of a 16 year old but I identify as a 21 year old. I deserve to have a vote.

If you allow 16 year olds to vote, you'll have 14 year olds claiming that it's unfair.
You might as well just give toddlers the right to vote at that stage.
Personally, I believe that only people who pay taxes should be allowed to vote.
It's dumb as fuck to let underage people to vote. Their decision will be too influenced by their parents.

>18-25 year-olds don't bother voting
>voter turnout increases as the age groups get older
There will never be enough 16 year-olds that get up off their ass to even convince the government to give them voting rights

They should vote to change it once they reach a certain age, to only realise how stupid they were a few years back.
I remember when I was 16/17 and thought for years Hitler was the bad guy.

Yeah, of course they should have the power to affect society.

Taxes and military service (or another form of public service if you're somehow unfit to fulfill your obligations towards the nation)

if the only people who paid taxes could vote they would be better off just directly spending their money on the services they wanted in their communities and getting rid of government which requires the robbery of wealth to inefficiently get anything done

Why are women allowed to vote again?
