[quote=Anonymous]18 is fine. I'm also okay with 16-year-olds voting in local municipal elections only since they are directly affected by decisions about schools, so there's that. But that's all. There are some people on the right who want to raise the age to 25 or even 30, arguing something about prefrontal cortex development and having skin in the game as far as contributing to society. By their logic, we should also cap the voting age at 75, so people losing their mental faculties due to advanced age shouldn't vote either. But right wingers don't argue that for some reason. I say leave it as it is, but since minors under 18 can't vote, they shouldn't have to pay income taxes. Let them keep their summer gig earnings for chrissakes. [/quote]
