Yes, and secondary schools should be obligated to provide classes teaching students about the government and political processes.
@B7TQR9Q7mos7MO
Yes, but unbiased education or training needs to be given to younger individuals so they understand the their own political leanings, the nuances of voting and importance of voting correctly
@B7S78NZ7mos7MO
I think in general the voting age should not be lowered, but votes on issues that will have a long lasting effect on younger generations, such as Irish unification or constitutional changes should be open to those at least sixteen.
@B7Q742P 7mos7MO
Yes, but only to 16, where 16 and 17 year olds have to pass a politics test to show their understanding and knowledge of the topic.
@B7KYSCQ7mos7MO
I think it should be lowered to 16 but if you are under 18 you must take a certain test to show you are able to understand what you are voting for
@B33XX4Y1yr1Y
To citizens 16 and older that can show a confirmation slip that they have/are working and paying taxes
@9ZT3B3B1yr1Y
No I believe that your opinion can change drastically in a year, I’m 19 and am finding it hard enough to figure out what party will help me and my future with out having to leave Ireland
@9ZSZVQG1yr1Y
It should be lowered to 16 with the exception for education on who they are voting for, young people are going to be living with the decisions we make why exclude them
