A voting age is a minimum age established by law that a person must attain to vote in a public election.
At the present time the voting age across the world is typing 18. When the right to vote was first accorded in democracies the voting age was generally set at 21. Should we raise the age to 21 to vote? I think so. Because most people are still child-minded essentially as a teenager, they are too young to vote at 18. It's easy to be controlled by others if one is not thoughtful. There are several reasons for arguing against allowing 18-years-old to vote, because the human brain does not really mature at 18-years-old. Sometime they are only replicating their parents votes. So they don't have choice to vote what they want or their parents will help tjem to election without asking for their views. I think this is unfair and just an election in name only. Maybe at 21, they will become more mature then they can make their own decisions rather than follow their parents. At the same time, the election will become more democratic.
So, I think the government should raise the voting age to 21, not reduce it to 16.

Voting is a important thing of our life and i don't think it should raise the voting age to 21 but 16 is too young to vote.18 is a suitable age to vote!
i disagree with you because i think there's a time in the life of a teenager to express itself. And this time is voting. for the first time in its life the teenager can express what it thinks about the society.
18 is a teenager. but a lot of 18 can do a lot of thing. many of them know what they will do .so i think they have right to vote.
