No, there is no need. I have found, from working in high schools, that many people that age have little interest in the government and to vote also requires a bit more maturity. This is a decision that most adults seem to have problems making. Voting is not a game but something that needs to be taken seriously.
The only way to lower the voting age for federal elections is by passing an amendment to the constitution.
No. That would be a mistake! =]
Lower the voting age from 21 to 18. (a+)

In the US, states have that right. Because there is no direct election of the President, a lower voting age would not benefit any state, and although several laws were introduced to reduce the age below 18, none have been passed. In some states, this would require a constitutional amendment.
Minimum voting age is 18 in India.
There is no maximum age for voting in Australia.
cause they think that if they lower the age for voting... 1. girls would just judge them by how they look 2. guys just would not care so they would just vote for random people
Because I think more people mean more votes, like if you were 19 when the voting age was still 21, you might have a great idea but you can't vote for it.
