Yeah, i think 18 because most people are finishing up school then and are paying taxes etc and are legally an adult by then so seems right. Plus, when you get to your late 20's upwards you realise that you really didn't have a clue when you were 16 Well I did anyway

I was a wreck! Probably would have avoided voting too, I just wouldn't have been at all interested back then.

But others might have been interested in voting at age and I'm not opposed to them doing so.. but I'm not strongly standing either side because I agree with your points too.

Saying all that, if you ask me who should have a vote out of the average 16 year old, or the average 96 year old... I'd probably say the 16 year old, so maybe I should give it more of a think.
