Should the Voting age be changed to sixteen? Although some people believe that voting is not of much importance‚ it truly is. It is a privilege in our country to have the right to vote‚ and have some say in what affects our lives every day. Most people don’t see this as a privilege and take advantage by not participating.

Voting age should increase from 18 to 21 Statement of intent: I am writing this to inform readers about why the voting age should increase to twenty one from eighteen which it is currently in New Zealand. Eighteen year olds don’t have the knowledge needed and I want readers to understand that an eighteen year old isn’t experienced enough to be able to make informed decisions about who should run our country.

olds should not be able to make these decisions for the world because of many reasons. The voting age should not be lowered to age 16. There are three main arguments that support this opinion. First‚ teens at the age of 16 can act immature. Most‚ 16 year olds can make immature choices so therefore should not have the right to vote. If the voting age is lowered to age 16 random people such as chavs will be voting (a young lower class person who displays brash behavior). They will vote for what they
