Lower legal voting age to 16, for students who can pass State issued class+exam.

Created by Z.P. on February 17, 2016

As a 15 year old in High School, I have seen more and more of my fellow students become invested in politics. When issues that will potentially affect people such as myself arise, I think that students that are 16+ years of age should be presented the opportunity to vote on said issues, including elections for public offices. It should be optional for students who wish to have the ability to vote to take a state or federal mandated class, and pass an exam that would test their psychological state, and whether or not they are mature enough to make such big decisions. Let's give our students a voice! Thank you.
