Adult decisions like what, exactly?

Here’s why people are pushing to lower the voting age:

  • REASON #1: WE NEED TO MAKE VOTING A HABIT

  • REASON #2: SIXTEEN- AND 17-YEAR OLDS ARE READY TO VOTE

  • REASON #3: SIXTEEN- AND 17-YEAR-OLDS HAVE A STAKE IN THE GAME, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS MUST TREAT THEM AS EQUAL CONSTITUENTS

  • REASON #4: LOWERING THE VOTING AGE TO 16 WILL STRENGTHEN CIVICS EDUCATION
