Should the minimum voting age be lowered?
@8HSDL3P3yrs3Y
yes, but more education around the different parties and policies.
@9B8LHZ812mos12MO
A minimum voting age should be accompanied by a maximum voting age
No, and remove tax from people who are not voting age. Otherwise its taxation without representation.
@9DXDWQL7mos7MO
yes, but have a compulsory class in schools teaching politics and about each party when it comes to election time.
@9DK2H687mos7MO
if someone is able to work they should be able to vote
@8HMCTYT3yrs3Y
Yes and there should be a cutoff age of the retirement age.
Yes, but not be mandatory until 18+ however I think there should be a test for people over the age of 65+ to see if they a cognitive enough to vote.
@9J78RN2 2mos2MO
Under 17-16 of ages with votes compass of more different less trouble besides other reasons areas Hamilton Waikato and Wellington vias upperhutts and Auckland Council bylaws under investigation property with legal taumaurnui Maoris the kuitis has tutangata pakeha decrease development videos
@9HK9YD6 4mos4MO
The voting issued byelection fruads and the burn heats independent by legend former UK prime minister Boris Johnson and former US president Donald Trump talk with white House dramatic
People that are 18+ should be able to vote no matter what, 16+ year olds with a drivers license should be able to vote too.
@9G6VF5V6mos6MO
If someone pays more than 8500NZD in tax each year then they should have the right to vote if they are older than 14
I think 18 is a good age however a lot if young people don’t have enough of a grip on the world and countries economic, and physical factors, however if they learn more and chose to change their vote they can do so in the next election
@9G5VTBK6mos6MO
No, and if you don't work and contribute out of your own work and earnings to the government then you shouldn't have a vote.
@9G5FS2Q6mos6MO
Could be lowered but younger voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote
@9G4LF2N6mos6MO
No, but there should be a maximum age - the age is older for women (i.e. women can vote longer given they statistically will live longer)
@9G3B3DGOpportunities 6mos6MO
Yes, if you have been deemed competent enough to drive on our roads and hold a driers license the you should be aloud to vote
@8GR39FS3yrs3Y
No, unless age 16 and over with a strong demonstration of understanding politics in order to vote
@8GNVDT93yrs3Y
Young people of 16 years aren't even really sure what they want to wear today let alone how we should run our country if you ask someone what they believe when they are 16 when they are 20 don't come back the very different answer
@8GL2LT33yrs3Y
Yes, but only if a secondary school course is introduced in the curriculum to provide a basic understanding of New Zealands constitution and politics
@8GBGM4F3yrs3Y

@8G7SJYH3yrs3Y

@8G7SJ9V3yrs3Y
Yes, and voters should be required to pass a basic demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote
@8G7K8H73yrs3Y
We need to be better at capturing young voters so trial a younger voting age
@8G7738J3yrs3Y
I remembered when the legal drinking age was dropped from 20 to 18 when I was working for DB Breweries & I know that the majority of my colleagues in the the Liquor Industry at the time thought that was a dangerous move....why: one of the main reasons that was touted at the time for the change was - at 18 you are eligible for the armed forces & can go to war, so you should be allowed to drink & purchase alcohol as well (however we knew that when the drinking age was 20 - 18/19 year olds were sneaking into licensed premises with fake ID's / the same has come to pass now with… Read more
@8G599K23yrs3Y
Not until civics education is compulsory in school
@8G3QBVS3yrs3Y
Implement more useful information for youth to better understand the reason and purpose behind voting, don’t lower the age just because it’s an extra vote.
@8FRV7ZN3yrs3Y
If you are paying taxes you should be allowed to vote
@8FRB7BN3yrs3Y
Yes but no younger than 16, & only if the voter has a job or is studying & has decent grades from high school
@8FK9C253yrs3Y
Yes, but only with unbiased education on politics taught in early high-school
@8F9JLPD3yrs3Y
No and there should be an Upper age cap to help minimise outdated views interfering with the standard of today
@8F8PGX53yrs3Y
yes, although we should do this by offering students a chance to affiliate themselves to a party at a younger age by educating them on the different beliefs and values of each party in secondary school and letting them choice a party independently
@8F65C424yrs4Y
Yes, but only with good unbias education in school
@2008rules4yrs4Y
Yes but should partake a basic quiz on politics
@8F63FYF4yrs4Y
The younger the better as it's their future.

Yes, and there should be an upper limit
@8DHFJ644yrs4Y
Only minors should be allowed to vote.
@8DCTHR94yrs4Y
No but 16-18 year olds should practice voting. The vote should not count but will help get young people get into voting and give government an idea of what young people’s thoughts are going forward.
@8DCRY654yrs4Y
Only if you can pass a test you can vote from 16
@8D8DQ4W4yrs4Y
Yes but we should introduce universal basic income
@8D7JMPP4yrs4Y
Yes, if they can prove they know what they are voting for
@8D59QZY4yrs4Y
no, because teenagers should be able to focus on schoolwork and growing as people without the pressure of having to vote.
@8D2NBSL4yrs4Y
Group those under 18 and those over 70 into a seperate voting bracket where each considered individual vote is the equivalent of half a vote in order to negate extremes in selfish voting from the elderly or uninformed voting from the youth.
@8CZJHZR4yrs4Y
Yes, only if civics were mandatory in schools though so that people were better educated so can construct own opinions rather than their families.
@8CZD4YJ4yrs4Y
Yes, with an opt in scheme for younger people.
@8CXFKNV4yrs4Y
No, and people under the voting age should not pay tax
