Do you think taht there should be a limitattion to how old you will be able to vote? Most people would say that the age group should be nine and above or maybe 25 and above. I agree with some of these reponses but in my opinion, I strongly believe that the age group of voting should be 15 and above, not any lower. I think this way as 14 year old is still maturing from a child mindset to a teen. There are alos many crimes commited by teens and adults giving them a view of how the consequences can gom out. Some also have a stable job and even their own apartments. It may also depend on how know politics, democracy, ans world wide news.
Pre-teens should not be able to have the right to vote as they are still mentally a child. They are not capable of making a wide choice that may affect the results of the outcome by voting. The mind of a child is still developing as they get older making them not of age to give the right of voting. Though there should be an exception if they have a specialty for diplomacy and political science.
Secondly, The mass of crimes committed is through 15 and above which gives them a fair responsibility on how they will face the actions of their choices and how it will impact giving them a mature mindset. They will have a better idea of the consequences of the decision they make. They should know the verdict that will lay on them.
Furthermore, most teens have a stable job and pay their own food and necessities. Some are even in college and have their own apartment. They are sophisticated in the world around them making them aware of what's going on. There actions hold value to it, even when it's small.
In conclusion, people over the age of 15 can vote while 14 year olds can have an exception. 15 and above can be mature enough to handle the decision of making a one in four year choice. Some teens are also out here protesting about politics and jedgements giving them responsibility. We should have a new policy and amendment on how we teens should vote!
