Not until greater legal rights are extended to 16 year olds to defend against parental coercion. I am concerned people that live with their parents as minors are at risk of being intimidated to vote a certain way

Yes, although some under 18's may not have enough knowledge to make an informed decision, the same can be said for some people who can currently legally vote. Under 18's should be educated about politics before voting.

Yes, I think younger people are more in tune with the way our country is run than ever before. I would also like there to be stricter rules around misinformation during election campaigns, maybe an independent fact checking body to verify all major claims being made during elections.
