Best Answer

Children are not legally allowed to vote because they are not considered mature enough. They are more likely to be influenced by peer pressure and less likely to have their own opinions about things. In informal polls, children tend to vote for what they hear their parents or friends say, or what they see on television.

Opinion:

They should be able to vote because everyone's vote should count. It isn't fair that kids cant vote. LET KIDS VOTE! I would like kids to vote cause everyone can have the responsibility to vote!

This is deemed to be the minimum age at which they can be considered to have sufficient maturity and responsibility to understand what the different political parties stand for, and to be able to form judgements as to who they wish to represent them in Parliament.

The voting age in the UK was lowered to 18 from 21 in 1969. The Welsh Nationalist Party, Plaid Cymru, have said that they would consider lowering the voting age to 16 if Wales were to become independent.
