Because so many people cannot understand the importance of the vote.
Actually there should be a test given to be sure there is understanding of what a vote means and the voter knows the difference between an amendment and a bill.
well a lot of other people have there own opinion on what the voting age should be but i think that the voting age should stay the same because... 1. kids need a break before they become an adult and have a lot of responsibility 2. even if the voting age was changed to 16 or lower, people would still not vote 3. kids/teenagers would just judge the people in the election by the little things and wont have a real reason to vote
The arguement was to make the voting age stay at 18 years old.
18 is probably a good age because it is the age a person becomes "Legal" and Legally responsible for their actions.
The minimum age in which someone can participate in a vote is known as the voting age. For example, in Andorra, the specified voting age is 18, which is the same as the United States of America.
The voting age in the state of Arizona is 18 years old. The voting age is the same across the entire country, including US territories.
The only way to lower the voting age for federal elections is by passing an amendment to the constitution.
18, same as everywhere else in the US.
Minimum voting age is 18 in India.
There is no maximum age for voting in Australia.
no sorry.
Eighteen-year-old males could be drafted into the military service in the 1960s, and a growing number of people were of the opinion that if they could be soldiers at that age they also should be eligible to vote. Also, different States had different voting ages, and it was felt that it should be the same nation-wide.
I think that the voting age should be lowered to 16 because they are the people that are affected by the decisions made by the president, and also it could have a bigger impact on society and actually get people to vote! Based on the last election, I think it should be 20...
