Voting Age Lowered to 16+

OwenOwen Community Manager Posts: 11 Settling in
Hey everyone,

You may have seen the big news- the UK is officially lowering the voting age to 16!

This is going to be a big change in how our democracy works. Many say it's a long-overdue recognition that young people deserve a say in their future, especially when it comes to issues like climate change, education, and mental health. Others think 16-17 yr olds might not have the life experience or political understanding to make such a big decision....

So what do you all think?
Should 16-year-olds have the vote?
Could it change the outcome of elections?
....would love to hear your thoughts!
