Lower the voting age from 18 to 16
Currently, 16 year olds are allowed to make decisions such as; buying a lottery ticket, consent to sexual activity and marriage. Most of these decisions lead to consequences that they were unaware of. Voting gives them a say about their future and gives them a pathway to become more responsible.
