Give Children the Vote? I Vote No

Vote for children. "My advice is to allow children to grow their own voting rights, regardless of voting speed," Vita Wallace announced at "Voting Children" (1998, p.147). This is a well thought-out discussion from Wallace, but I disagree. In this article, Wallace describes her view, but the main idea can also be used as a fact, decision, or policy (McFadden, 2003). Throughout this article, Wallace saw an interesting way to persuade the audience.

When I mentioned giving young people the right to vote, I was not talking about children. I personally agree to lower the voting age to 16 years old. This is still a fundamental concept for some people. But is that true? In less than 50 years, the 26 th revision proposal was passed and the right to vote for children 18 years old was given. This makes sense. Because, during the Vietnam War, young people between 18 and 20 years old were chosen to die in war all over the world. Although a 16 year old child can not die in the war (they can join the age of 17 with parental consent), the same logic will still be applied. Discussions on granting voting rights to 18 year olds result in the fact that they should have a place in the system and comment on this benefit. What we are seeing throughout the country is that people under the age of 18 have expressed awareness about the future of the system and that there is no way to actually participate.

Nonetheless, there is still a debate that seriously opposes the right to vote for children. People between the ages of 18 and 21 are already voting with dark figures - why should we vote for young people who may not be worried more? Even though they are truly interested in voting, children do not have intellectual or life experiences to understand complex problems. Assuming you put them in the polling place, they may vote for their parents to tell them - basically your parents get double, triple or quad votes

Let's consider the interests of children who have the right to vote. For beginners, they will discuss the extent of the problem with them and their family members as they are allowed to vote. Now it is suggested that parents can hold children's votes as proxies until they become adults (see discussion by Demeny by Miles Corak). Indeed, this will bring more attention to family problems, but of course, children may have different views on some of their parents' problems.

In the article of "Voting Children" (1998), the author Vita Wallace defends the rights of children. Based on her perspective, Wallace proposes her own life to explain the main points of her discussion. At the age of sixteen, Wallace shared his views at this stage in life, but although she is not an adult, she feels like herself. Wallace is anxious about the lack of freedom for children, and her argument is that children vote. "I encourage children to be able to gain their own voting rights regardless of the speed of voting," Wallace said (1998, p. 145). Indeed, Wallace thinks that he may even be preparing to vote more quickly when she is 8 or 9 years old.
