Lower The Voting Age From 18 to 16!
As 16 and 17 year olds, we are allowed to make some very life changing choices. However whenever it comes to a political vote, we do not get a say in how our country is run. Scotland recently had a referendum, where 16 and 17 year olds had the vote and 71% of them voted.
By giving the vote to 16 and 17 year olds it would increase the voter turnout. Which has been a recently a hot topic in the news.
