Lower the voting age to 16
The voting age is currently 18 but a vote at 16 would help to prepare people on how to use the vote 'maturely' sooner than later. There are many people over the age of 18, who do not use the vote wisely, so why deny 16 and 17 year olds the vote, as a lot of 16 and 17 year old would use it.
I am calling for the government to reduce the voting age to 16, I urge you to sign and share, if you agree. Many Thanks!
