Should Sixteen Year Old be able to Vote?

Right now, only people over eighteen are allowed to vote, this is something that every Canadian citizen should know. People think that only people over eighteen are mature enough and actually take political issues seriously. Right now, people are thinking whether or not sixteen-years old should be able to vote. Some people think that at the age of sixteen the teens are not old and mature enough to vote in an election. The truth is, …

…the community. Teachers required to teach and motivate their students to vote, parents, grandparents, and community leaders will gain more knowledge of the issues and candidates on the ballot, also receiving these young people's opinions through discussion and learning. This will open minds and give everyone a fresh new prospective. This will result in a greater number of citizens taking part in the voting process and representing their opinions about our country in the polls.
