Lower voting age to age 8

Petition Details

We believe the voting age should be reduced to 8 for general elections and other poll elections to increase and protect and support democracy, too. We think it will increase democracy and promote young people to be more intelligent and learn.

Additional Information

We also think it will make the younger people happier as they are having more of a say and this will improve their quality of life. Young people's autonomy and voice shall be empowered for good things and should be supported in areas of need will help young people to be more intelligent and active.
