We should lower voting age to 17. People with small chance of even being here in 30 yrs shouldn't dominate decisions that affect those who will then be in their prime. Kids in high school are more at risk, have more at stake, and should have more power in determining the future.

18 is the right age.

While I agree that those running the country shouldn't be mostly septuagenarians, I'm very concerned with people who feel 17 year olds are mature enough to vote. Do you not remember how dumb you were at 17, or did you not mature significantly since then? Either is a problem.

Your statement says "kids in high school;" isn't "kids" a keyword?

I think 18 is too young, but if you pay taxes and can risk your life fighting endless wars then you better be able to vote.

Why not sixteen ?

Most people aren’t mature or aware enough to vote responsibly at 50, but you want teenagers voting?
