Lowering the voting age
There is always two sides to the voting age restriction, 18 or 16. Both have their ups and downs. If the age restriction was lowered to 16, voter participation would increase greatly. If you compare The United States voting participation percentage, (38%) to Belgium (98%), we are not doing good at all. We are limiting big groups of people and not letting them vote just because of there age. Even though 18 and 16, are right around the corner from each other. Take Astria for example. They are among the top countries with the highest voteing rate, because they lowered their voting age to 16. And many other countries are following along. Its time that we do as well. It just makes sense to hear the younger
