Politics taster: should 16 year olds be allowed to vote?

Politics taster: should 16 year olds be allowed to vote?

StudentsVirtual

More democratic countries are committing to 'Votes-at-16', but does this make sense? Are 16-17-year-olds ‘adults’ who deserve the right to representation? 18-24-year-olds are far less likely to vote than any other group, so should we be looking to increase, not decrease, the voting age? Join Lancaster University to explore the evidence related to this debate and its relevance to key political ideas such as the nature of adulthood, democratic representation, and inter-generational fairness.
