Should the minimum voting age be lowered?

Only heterosexual cisgender male Christians with citizenship, who do not receive any type of welfare, benefits or aid from the government, should be allowed to vote, and their age, race and creed should not be taken into consideration at all.

Yes, but voters still should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Yes, and lower the voting age to 17

Yes, and lower the voting age to 16

Yes for local elections

No, but those under 16 should not pay income tax

No, the voting age should be the age of majority which is decided at the state level

No, raise back to 21.

No. I believe that the writers of the Constitution were divinely inspired (I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). I personally believe that the reason they said only land-owning men should vote was to prevent the uneducated front making bad voting decisions. While I believe that women and non-property owners should be allowed to vote, I think it is wise to find a way to preserve the original intent. So perhaps voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote. This should NOT include calling certain OPINIONS right or wrong.

Personally I'm satisfied with the current voting age but if the majority of the people support a lower voting age I will support the popular will of the people.

No, but stop taxes those unable to vote (people who are not yet registered to vote)

How do you personally feel about teens having the power to shape future elections through voting?

Do you think you're ready right now to be part of a major decision that impacts your country, and why?

What age do you believe someone becomes 'mature enough' to make decisions about government, and what does maturity mean to you?

How would you feel if a law was passed allowing people your age to vote tomorrow, and what changes do you think it would create?

Should younger people have a say in government decisions that will affect them for most of their lives, or should experience take precedence?

Do you think being more involved in politics earlier in life makes you more responsible and aware, or can it lead to confusion?

If you could change one thing about how voting works today, what would it be and why?

What is it about someone’s age that makes them capable or incapable of making informed decisions about leadership?

Can personal experiences and challenges faced by younger generations provide valuable insights that older generations may overlook in elections?

What impact do you think lowering the voting age might have on social issues that directly affect young people, such as climate change or education?

No, but we should increase efforts to educate the youth about critical thinking and politics.

No, but we should allow people above the age of 18 to run for public office.

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be able to qualify to vote, but all voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics and current events, and all information needed to pass the test should be available online or otherwise to all potential voters.

Leave it up to the states but set the range at 16-18

Yes since some 16 and 17 year olds work and pay taxes. Those under 25 should be required to pass a political understanding test or have a high school diploma/GED since government is a graduation requirement in most schools. Also, any high school student should be able to vote in school board elections. Some states allow 17 year olds to vote in the primaries as long as they'll be 18 by the general election

No, and only property-owning (defined as owning any form of property in the country) confirmed Catholics should be able to vote. In a family, it is understood that property is shared by the spouses, and so both husband and wife, assuming they are both confirmed Catholics, should be able to vote.

no its at a good age

Yes it should be lowered to at least 17. A high school senior taking Civics or Participation in Government should be able to vote

If the results of the vote will affect you then you should be allowed to vote.

Voting eligibility should be decided through a test of the implacable knowledge of the government

You can Vote as soon as you Pass a civics class.

I say no because all the kids now a days only listen to the bad stuff social media says about people they never actually look into the facts, for instance, Donald Trump was accused of so much stuff he didn't do wrong, especially people calling him a racist and as soon as that got said on tiktok or some dumb app everyone hated him even though it wasn't true

No. The way changes are going about in school, with introduction of widely controversial ideas, children need to be allowed to be children for as long as possible. We need to introduce civics in every grade, but not one sided political thinking hoping to flip elections with highly brainwashed sixteens year old's who only know what their teacher, media, and parents have told them. Not from what they learned and have processed through readings of multitudes of historical political writers.

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote and it should be raised

I think it's 18 so it's fine or if not 18 it should be 21.
