The government is officially lowering the provincial voting age to 16. You all made this change possible. We won.

If Canada is a really a democracy, then why don’t 16 year olds have a say in their own government? The voting age should be lowered from 18 to 16. If 16 year olds can legally drive, work and be an active citizen, and give back to their community, why shouldn’t they be given the right to vote? Sixteen year olds have recently received Civics education, and know more than most adults think they do. Teens are interested in politics and the government, and they should be given a chance to show it. After all, this is an issue about their future and they want a say. This petition’s goal is to get a bill passed to lower the Ontario's provincial voting age to 16.

The emails I am getting from students across the province prove that this generation is ready to lead. I am currently compiling your feedback to present to our representatives.

I strongly agree with this!!! The future is going to be on us to handle, we should have a say in our own futures!!
Definitely support this. Most 16 year olds are more engaged than adults, due to civics classes, etc.
its crazy we pay taxes on our paychecks but have zero say in who gets to spend that money. totally fair to lower the age.
100% on board with this. tons of kids my age are way more informed than the people showing up to the polls every 4 years.
Keep at it!! About time someone looked into this for us.
yup uh huh uh huh i like it
Make sure to educate teenagers so they have fair and balanced views.

I'm at the age where I want a say, but I can't have one. Voting will allow me to have that say.
