Change the minimum voting age from 18 to 16.
Young people's opinions should be heard and talked about. Lowing the voting age can support this and could help eliminate age discrimination.
We think that there is not much difference in an 18 and 16 year old: same social media access, same responsibilities and both make decisions for their future. As a 16 year old, you should be able to have a say in the future of your country as it will impact the younger generation far more than the older generation.
