we should have our voice heard
I am very happy that some people have their heads pulled in! : )
I think it should be lowered to 11+
I think lowering it to at least 12+ would be reasonable since some of us don’t have a full understanding of this but our voices should be heard.
voting age should be lowered
I do not they should lower the voting age
I think the voting age should be lowered because we are expected to follow the same laws as the adults but we have no say about it!
Personally I thinkk it should be lowered to like 13+
I think that 17+ would be a good age to vote
I understand that voting can be a controversial topic to talk about it would be nice if the younger citizens of New Zealand got the chance or the opportunity to have a say in how our country around us that they are growing up in is run. But then again it could be a bad idea with the influence of social media and their parents decisions can depict who and how they vote.
I think lowering the voting age is a extremely terrible idea because, most of children/teens don’t know how the world works, here’s a example, what do you think would happen if a party would say hey if you vote for me, all lolly prices would be droped by 50% and the other party says were going to drop all grocery prices to 10%, ofc the kid would vote for lollys, now you know why i think its a terrible idea
I think the age of voting should not be changed because of the reason that . like they said earlier . right now all that teenagers are watching is social media like tictok Instagram and Facebook and in a way they are not going to get a say on who they vote for. And theirs always that one parents that will try to tell you who to vote for so i bevel that the vetoing age should not be lowerd
I think it should be lowered, but 12+ can give an opinion that doesn’t count as a vote.
I think it should be lowered to 13+ or 16+ or just somewhere in between
I think it should be lowered to 16 because 16 is a mature age to vote and they will take it seriously
I think it should be lowered to about 16, but their vote doesn’t really count.
I think it should be lowered to about 13, but their vote doesn’t really count.
i think that 16+ is good but 11 to 15 is unexeptabl
Children like ME (hopefully) should be able to vote >:(
I could help my parents vote for the right things!
Anyway
PLEASE?
yes go lower
