This question is interesting since a lot of people think that it’s something negative or positive. Some people think that young people might not vote because they dont have knowledge enough and they couldn’t understand certain things, but others think that young people should vote, because it can affect their future so that voting is a good idea.
Firstly, in my view, lowering the voting age will be a good idea because they have to care about the environment, education and the future so voting could change their lives in a positive way and maybe for that reason they can also have a chance as the adults.
Secondly, some people think that youngs might not vote because it’s a responsabilty, that now they are not prepared for, so that people want to young people vote when they become older because they are more independent and know what to do.
Thirdly, being young is not that everyone have misinformation. Nowadays, young people are more informed about, because of social media or internet so that they know more of everything, seeing things on internet is not always the truth but it has some positive thing, were they can know about.
Fourthly, voting when you are young it could make you to be more interested on politics and to be more responsible in the live, they could also learn more, and this can change young people’s minds, they could also have great ideas and they don’t have to worry about the future.
Fifthly, other reason is that if young people could vote, they may feel excited and happy because they are included in the society, since young people think that always the adults make all the decisions and why they not, and this could help the youngest people to be more interested in what happens in the world not only about thinking that their opinion is bad, with that they would think that their opinion matters.
In conclusion, lowering voting age has it’s positive and negative ways. Some people think that they are not ready for voting and others think that they should vote because they can learn more and in the future it will affect them. To be honest, young people should have the opportunity to vote and with that they could be more responsible and know more about politics.
