Should the voting age be reduced to 16yrs old?

No. In general, 16 year olds have little if any personal concept of the world and the important issues to vote responsibly. Not ragging on teenagers. I just used to be one is all.

In the UK, someone is not deemed responsible enough to Vote or Drink at 18 however they're considered responsible enough to HAVE A BABY at the age of 16!!!

Ridiculous!

The voting age has been 18 here since the early 70's. I remember a big eal in my high school, during my senior year, getting us registered. So, my first election was 1972 presidential. Nixon won.

Why does your poll say "lowered to 18 years"?

maybe it is 21 up in the North Country??

Hell no! 16 year olds cant even control themselves.

I'm sorry to laugh, DesignerGal, but that sounds just like I would say it.

That dosen't make sense it should be have been reversed 16 drinking and voteing and 18 to have a baby

I know some teenagers who had kids at 14 there kids are now 4-5 years old and the kids turned out right but the parents had help from family which i guess is cool

but a lot of the girls that get pregnant young are shuned from family and society even now days when were supposedly more understanding about that kind of stuff.

The voting age should stay the same. Lowering wouldnt accomplish anything. Alot of people dont even bother to vote anyway. I do though!
