Agree Disagree Don't know Don't care

I think that: The voting age should be lowered to 16.

Because: My concern is that there’s a generation of young people who are never going to get into the voting habit. We’ve got citizenship classes going on in schools ... If people come straight out of the citizenship class into the polling station then there’s continuity and that might be an opportunity for them to get the habit of voting.
