Would giving 16-year-olds the vote improve democracy or just change the way campaigns are run?

In my opinion lowering the voting age could improvethe quality for everyone since also the opunion of the younget generation wuold be listened.
16 is a good age to start beeinginterested in what appens in the political world,and at this age you can still have a resonable and developed thought.It would also help creating a longlasting habite of going to vote and in having an opinion on everythimg around you and to decide how could it be improved, comparig with the older generations.I think tought that it should be allowed to vote at this age only for less important decision like only for regional affairs.Some may think that at 16 teenagers change ideas really often and may not take this seriously,but the earlier you start involving the younger generaion on the everyday debates the earlier you can create a civic sense in them that could help the nowdays politic world.Others may say that only at 18 you develop a stable and responsible tought and that isnt true because when you live in the same society as them you can impact and you should do it the.
In the end I strongly agree that the voting age should be lowered because it could realluy improve society, but only for certain decisions because I still agree that at 18 you mind is fully formed and you are more responsible for your decisions.
