Young People Want Lower Voting Age
Most young people say the voting age should be lowered to 16, according to findings from MORI for the latest Nestlé Family Monitor 'Young People's Attitudes Towards Politics'. Three in five feel the voting age should be reduced, with 53% wanting it at 16 or below. This finding on what young people themselves think comes as the Electoral Commission launches a three month consultation process on the minimum age of voting.
