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

Many believe that there should be a voting age limit. I think, no there shouldn’t be a voting age limit.
Everyone within 14-18+ should receive equal rights. I say this because many children and teenagers of the age lower than 18 (U.S) are most likely going to want to have several opportunities to voice their opinions while they’re young.
Furthermore, a test should be involved before younger voters are allowed to vote, as an age alone shouldn’t determine voting rights. The test should be based on behavior, economics, and politics. Some middle schoolers are more mature and advanced in behavior and knowledge than high schoolers. The test would give them a chance to show that. If you fail, then they could wait until they feel more mature and knowledgeable to have another opportunity.
In conclusion, there shouldn’t be a voting age limit. A test should be involved to determine if that person is eligible to vote. In the lesson, Lowering the Voting Age, we had an activity that had us to form our opinion on which solution had a better impact. During the activity, I really accomplished step 8: Using facts. I provided evidence for my opinion.
