Voting age

choose a group of men, usually wise men, educated ones, and most importantly, country lovers because these men will ruse the country and take important choices concerning the future of the country. Voting age in most countries, especially Arabic countries is limited to 21 and above. In my opinion, voting…

The age for voting has been a discussion for a long time, it has changed to fit the views of the people and what they think is the idealistic age. Now the debate is whether it should be changed to a lower age than it is now. One thought is to change the age allowing you to vote to 16. In the past, the age was lowered from 21 to 18 during the second World War. The reasoning behind the switch was “old enough to fight, old enough to vote.” The men were being sent off to war for their country but…

Voting is a very important part for american life. voting should not be lower do to the unwilling and unwanting of so many young teenager's today. lowing the age voting will only have negative outcomes for the states.

I believe the voting age should decrease from where its been for many years, at 18 years of age, to 16 years of age. I believe in equal representation as much as any american, but I believe the two year age diference could show marginal results. This is one of those policies that may work well in other countries, but in the United States the majority of the young adult population doesn't pay attention to politics, they're too busy with highschool, part time jobs, or any social activity.…

Voting Age Respond FCA’s 1 page long I think that the voting age should increase from 18 years to almost 20-21 years. In the beginning the voting age was 21 years but later on it decreased because of the Vietnam War in World War II. In the 1970 case Oregon v. Mitchell the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the right to regulate the minimum age in federal elections; however, not at local and state level. At the age of 18 some teens get emotional sometimes; moreover, they make…

Should the voting age be lowered to 16 years old or stay at 18 years old? There is a movement in progress currently that is attempting to get the voting age lowered from age 18 to age 16. They are a group who call themselves “Generation Citizens” and have named this movement “VOTE16USA”. They argue that in most states 16 and 17 year olds can drive independently, attain a job, pay taxes and even be tried as an adult in a court of law; therefore, why should they be subjected to wait two more years…

Why We Should Not Lower the Voting Age There has been a lot of discussion on whether or not the US should decrease our minimum voting age. Lowering the voter age to include minors would reduce the average amount of knowlege known by the US' voters. Regressing the minimum voter age could also have terrible, authoritarian results. The current voting age, 18, is the age when you first become legally classified as an adult, and are expected to have graduated high school. The public…

I personaly think in my opinion, that the voting age should be lowered to age 16. Lowering the voting age would have some very positive outcomes. Since America is trying to have a growth in people who do participate in voting, this will inevitably add to the percentage of voters. Letting more people eligible to vote means the higher the percentage. There is though the argument of young people not being as interested or involed as the elderly. With percentages backing that statement up.…

Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom have extended voting rights for 16 year olds and all have historically better voter turnout then the United States. Advocates for lowering the voting age argue that it could increase government responsiveness and help reinvigorate our democracy. In state after state and around the world, allowing young people to vote in elections has had a real positive effects. Many states in our country have extended voting rights to 17 year olds to vote in primaries to…
