Caveat: I did not read the article, but the title raises an interesting question! Food for thought!
The usual trend in Western democracies was to lower the voting age further and further! Even age 16 has been considered!
How mature are actually 18 year old individuals to make mature, experienced, and reasonable judgments about ongoing politics/policies? How easy are these young people influenced by some propaganda and demagoguery?
The standard argument and default, automatic rule was that adults are allowed to do anything else may not apply to voting! Let young adults gather some or more real world experiences etc. before voting! 😊
In my opinion, the more proper voting age would be 20 and older!
