Vote16
Why Vote16?
Expanding the voting age increases long-term civic engagement and raises a generation of habitual voters.
Many teens drive, have jobs, and pay taxes. Teens deserve a say in the local policies that affect them.
16- and 17-year-olds already vote successfully in 6 U.S. cities and 29 countries worldwide.
"Cold cognition,” the complex decision-making skill used in voting, is found to be fully developed by 16.*
