argentinian lawmakers passed a new measure on wednesday, october 31, 2012; lowering the nation's voting age to 16. although this will give young people more opportunities to be apart of politics, i feel that it will over throw the majority of votes from now on. in my side of this decision, i feel that lowering the age of voters was not a good idea. i say this because i know plenty of young people who do not take the election seriously. also, some can be peer pressured into choosing a certain president which is not fair at all. i think they should re-think this decision.
Tis is just too crazy. It is a horrible idea to do this.
ReplyDeletei cant believe they dropped the voting age, thats crazy. I dont think it is going to help anything, it might even make things worse on who get elected.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous! A 16 year old can barely take care of themselves without help from a parent! Why would you let them be in charge of helping pick who govrerns them? A 16 year old is definately not mature enough to be able to choose something that impacts a group of people so much.

I think this is a terrible idea. You should be living on your own to be able to vote. You need to be an adult when you vote.
