Give 16 Year Old's the Right to Vote

Created by J.T. on August 26, 2016

Sixteen year old's deserve the right to vote,it makes no sense to allow sixteen year old's the ability to get a job and pay taxes but have no say in what the government does with their money.Most of the studies on the internet point out that by letting sixteen year old's vote you increase the likely hood of them building a habit to vote,which would help with low voter turn out and help educate more teens about politics at early ages.This idea has been used in Scotland and may soon be used in local elections in San Francisco,CA. This is a serious issue for teens who are politically aware at a young age and feel helpless about what may happen to our country for the next four to eight years.Please adults and teens need to work together to make this happen.
