If all ages are influenced by misinformation, should there be any age limits on voting?

Adding limits on voting has been a debated issue through out most countries of Europe.Nowdays getting influenced by misinformation is very common , so many people believe that to solve this matter we should put age limits on voting
On one hand , we shouldnt add age limits on voting because if laws apply to everyone , everyone affected by those laws should be included and have a voice in those arguments.Many minors also tend to work and pay taxes simply cause they want to support their families, so they should be able to vote since they actively pay the goverment
On the other hand , we should put those limits on voting because many young voters dont have the maturity or knowledge to handle and make political decisions . Also voting requires understanding goverment systems and policies , so if someone isnt able to understand those policies then they shouldnt be able to vote.Lastly people of a younger age are more likely going to be influenced by misinformation ,rather than a person of an older age with more experience in politics and voting
So while young people deserve to have their voices heard ,voting is a serious matter that requires maturity and understanding .Therefore age limits should be added on voting
