Maldives is one of the few countries in the world where official voting age is set at 21. The Maldives Dictator Mr. Gayyoom is doing everything he can to keep the 18-21 age group from having a say in their own future. We believe that once you are an adult, you should be able to make your own decisions about the future of your country, which will have an impact on your whole adult life and that of your children. We want the voting age to be lowered to 18 as is the case in over 90% of the countries in the world. Gayyoom knows very well that this age group hates him and want him out! That is why he is resisting this change! But we must not let him do it! Support this campaign and let us all decide our future!

Been waiting for someone to finally do something about this. My vote matters just as much as anyone elses.

Exactly. They just dont want us to vote because they know they will lose.

RIDICULOUS that we are still stuck at 21. Everyone else in the world gets it right except us.

18 is more than old enough to know who we want running things. Stop treating us like kids.
