Voting age to be 16 instead of 18
Many younger people want to and should have a say in their future!
Many 16 and 17 year olds should have the right to vote as we are eligible to start working meaning we should have a say how things are done in our country and let our voices be heard As it’s our future on the line.
From my own point of view there has been times I have wished to vote of something but my age holds me back. I can make a valid and sensible decision on my future as from the age of 16 I was caring fro myself and at 17 I was in my own flat, due to this o see no reason why 16 and 17 year olds should be able to vote as well with the correct Education first.
