When do you think they are going to give everybody the right to vote?
Young Adults, people ages 15-17, are just as informed as people around 18,19 and their early 20's. When do you think the government will give people ages 15-17 the right to vote, we have a voice that wants to be heard to?, why does the government have to discriminate against certain age groups?
DO NOT say that people around 15-17 are uninformed about politics, if somebody that is 18 is informed i think somebody 15 can be, since they go to school together
someone around that age,15, should choose since they will be entering the world with college and all that with a president that can be helping/making worse college costs

I actually think the age limit should be RAISED. With few exceptions, kids do not have the life experience to make decisions about things they have yet to encounter. In my opinion, it should be at least 25.

If we start allowing 15-17 yr old's the right to vote because they believe they are as informed as those who are 18, then were does it end? Why aren't 13-14 yr old's as informed as 15-17 yr old's? They can read just as well as you can. The reason is because until you are an adult, you have no direct stake in the results. Until you are 18, your parents are making the decisions and not you. You cannot be drafted (not that it would be reinstated), you cannot enter into contracts, you are not legally an adult. It's not about maturity or being informed; if that were the case, we wouldn't let every 18 yr old vote, only those who could prove they were both mature and informed. Sorry, you're just going to have to wait.
