[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are looking to follow Takoma Park. I’m not sure it makes a lot of sense. [/quote] Is the voting age in Takoma Park also 16? And are people allowed to vote even if they are undocumented?[/quote] The age is definitely 16 in Takoma Park, it's also 16 in Greenbelt, Riverdale Park, and Hyattsville. It's also 16 in a few countries (Austria, Ecuador, Brazil, Scotland, I believe, maybe others). Takoma Park (and a few other small places in Maryland (https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States) permit non-citizens to vote based on residency in the city. Honestly, I think this is fine, but also ultimately not that important either way. Not letting 16 year olds or non-citizens vote isn't a huge injustice, but it's also not causing anarchy.[/quote]
