Yes, and secondary schools should be obligated to provide classes teaching students about the government and political processes.
@B33XX4Y2wks2W
To citizens 16 and older that can show a confirmation slip that they have/are working and paying taxes
@9ZT3B3B3mos3MO
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
@9ZSZVQG3mos3MO
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
@9ZZDH7L3mos3MO
You should be able to vote at any age as long as you complete an accurate IQ test and the results dictate if you can vote
@9ZWFB363mos3MO
I somewhat agree with No.5, but if we have a basic test to understand politics then I think the age could be lowered. I reckon most people who have a good sense of politics has nothing to do with age, just research and personal interest. As such, a fifteen year old could easily be as understanding of politics as a fifty year old
@9ZWDF933mos3MO
Yes and everyone should be required to pass a basic text demonstration their understanding of politics in order to vote
@9ZW5M9D3mos3MO
no the minimum age should be lowered but perhaps there should be a maximum age implemented as decisions impact younger generations on a greater scale than those in their 80's/90's
