We the undersigned believe the voting age should be lowered to 16 years of age.
If the government feel that a 16years old is mature enough and old enough to join the military services, can get a job, get married and start a family, why then are they not considered old enough to vote?
At 16yrs of age, a person can have a job in the armed forces and be married with a family but, they cannot drink in a pub or watch an 18 rated movie in the cinema... Or vote; where is the logic in this?
