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

In my opinion i think that lowering the voting age is a good idea because then you would see the difference or the simalarity of what more older people vote for and what younger people vote for.there would be a massive increase of how many people would be added to vote for under 16s and 1.5 million young people wiilll have the advantege to vote.In lots of places the voting age is alredy for under 16s .Also in some countries the minimum voting age is over 18s and the maximum is 25 year olds .
Someone who disagrees might think that under 16s arnet at all capeble of mature enough to vote and that the voting age should stay at 18s and above.
However, i think that they are wrong because it is also only 2 years younger and if they have the right and advantege to vote then they would obviously want to use it .
In my opinion , i think that the campains might change but i dont think that it would change massively.I think that it would improve the democracy by quite a bit.
In my opinion children would impact the politics.
I think that the younger generations would be a little bit more affected whith the politics.
In conclusion,i think that under 16s should have the right to vote.
