We are The Change. We believe in Better. we think that young adults much like you should have the right to a voice in our society.16 year olds are not given a chance to shine out of their box. We also believe that age is nothing but a number and us young people should have more responsibility. Do you believe in better?
So 16 year olds can pay tax for the government, can potentially DIE for their country in war, but cant vote for which gorverment should control the country? Some thing is not right!
Do you agree that 16 year olds should be able to vote?
BE PART OF THE REVOLUTION!

16 year olds are way more informed than people give us credit for. we deal with the real world too.
If I can work and pay taxes I should get a say in how the country is run. Makes zero sense otherwise.
I was paying income tax at 16. Felt like robbery not being able to vote for the people deciding where that money goes.
THIS IS LONG OVERDUE!!! Let the youth have their say.
Totally agree. They can get a license and get a job so why treat them like little kids when it comes to politics?

Times change and our laws should too. 18 is an outdated number.
