the discussion is for asking the people about their view on minimum age for voting. As almost every country is a democratic one. so we should be clear about the minimum age for voting.

I think 18 is the right kind of age as at that age you become adult and you can think of your own, you can use your brain to do that.

In the united states our age of voting is 18 years old. That's when a person is concidered to be an adult. But sometimes when i see certain people at the age of 18 i don't think they are really responsible enought to vote. some are, but some aren't.

in the uk it is 18 and i think this is about right. Much younger and it gets silly we have fashions and fads as teenagers when we are discovering ourselves and the world around us, in a democracy that can be dangerous

The current voting age in my country(18 years in India) i feel is alright. The person becomes a major and is capable of thinking independantly. But bringing down this age may be a bit negative. i feel 18 is the optimum age. Nothing more to lose nothing to gain.
