Agree

Yes

The European Democratic Party (EDP), being centrist and pro-European, might be open to the idea of lowering the voting age as a means to increase political engagement among younger citizens. This aligns with broader European trends of considering youth perspectives in political processes. However, their specific stance on this issue is not well-documented, suggesting a moderate agreement.

Slightly agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

The EDP's centrist and pro-democratic stance might make them somewhat receptive to the idea of linking taxation and representation, reflecting a classic democratic principle. However, this position might not be a central part of their platform, indicating only slight agreement.

Slightly disagree

No

Disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Imposing a test for voting eligibility could be seen as undemocratic or exclusionary, which would likely conflict with the EDP's values of inclusivity and broad participation in the democratic process. There is no evidence to suggest that the EDP supports such measures, indicating disagreement with this approach.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would likely be contrary to the EDP's principles of fostering democratic engagement and inclusivity within the European Union. There is no historical precedent or current policy within the EDP that suggests support for restricting youth participation in elections.
