Voting Age Should Be Lowered To Age 16

The document argues that the voting age should be lowered to 16 by presenting reasons in support of lowering the voting age such as encouraging civic learning at an earlier age, generating greater political interest and awareness among youth, and that young people are aware of current events. A survey of high school students showed that more students supported than opposed lowering the voting age to 16. The document cites sources and was prepared by Rumal Ganegoda for a business diploma module on professional and academic development.

Introduction
This topic looks at the case for
lowering the voting age to 16.
Introductory
Topics
Century or so ago almost no countries allowed

women to vote.
Now every democracy accepts that all adult citizens
should have the right to vote.

Currently 142 countries have 18 as their voting age.

Well-known democracies such as the UK, USA and


Australia there are growing movements to
lower the voting age to 16.
Voting is the most precious
right of every citizen, and we
have a moral obligation to
ensure the integrity of our
voting process.
