Why We Should Increase the Voting Age

Voting is important to ensure that the government is managed under its design and the public's political system can listen to the citizen's beliefs. From 1781 to 1971, the voting rights changed dramatically. It owns property and only allowed people who are over the age of 21 to vote. People over the age of 21 can vote without regard to race or ethnic background. The women were allowed to vote later. Finally, the 26 th revision lowered the voting age to 18 (voting history).

This article is about examining whether the election of the majority of age should be reduced to 16 years old. We review and dismiss some discussions both parties raised in discussing voting rights age. We believe that the important issue is the political maturity of young people. Based on the empirical data gathered in a representative survey across the country, the importance of such evidence suggests that young people are not politically matured than the elderly, for the most part There.

Suppose we reserve age-based eligibility criteria to vote. How old would I be? Let's consider the argument that the voting age is lowered to 16 years old and its operation will be as follows. 18-year-olds should vote. The ability of a 16 year old child is only much lower than that of an 18 year old child. Therefore, a 16 year old child needs to vote. Suppose you accept the prescriptive premise that an 18-year-old child should vote. Furthermore, we assume that there is little difference in ability between 16 and 18 years old. Nevertheless, we can resist the conclusion that the 16 - year - old children should be given the right to vote. This argument is weak. Because, as far as we know, the same discussion can be repeatedly used. It will be ridiculous until a six-year-old gets voting rights.
