Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?
That’s already how it works. You never have to register to vote; you can spend you’re entire life opting out of the electoral system.
But when you register to vote you’ve accepted your civic duty to cast your vote everytime. So 16-year-olds would just have the option of starting earlier.
