Lower the voting age to 16.
16-year-olds should have a voice in their own opinions. This is because, in many ways, society treats them like adults. Such as, they can consent to sex, buy lottery tickets and on public transport, they are charged as an adult for the ticket. Surely they should be able to vote like an adult?
