Decrease Voting Age Requirement

This petition was published by Maxx Cook on Jan 08, 2012

We believe that teenagers, when they reach the age of 17, should be allowed to vote on the local, state, and federal elections that are taking place. Teenagers have been stereotyped to be clueless politically until we reach the age of 18.

We would like to not only petition this stereotype but the legal ability that teenagers have. If properly educated on the voting and political process when they reach a specific age or during an election year, adolescents will be able to think for themselves and know what they believe is best for their city, state, or country.

Again, we are petitioning to decrease the legal voting age from 18 to 17 years old.
