Elections are for picking politicians and ensuring stability. Disenfranchising nonagenarians is taxation without representation.

I as a twelve year old don't want to have the responsibility of voting. I'm very politically aware and I now that one vote can count. I now more than adults now and I'm pretty sure that if you are mature enough then you would understand that children don't need that type of right for NOW. If I had to chose what could possibly be a lowered voting age I would say 17. It's only one year less than 18 but this is when a part of our brains start developing and get the habit of making good choices for ourselves. I don't need more responsibilitys in my life. Ill vote when the government thinks I'm old enough to vote. I understand that it is frustrating to not be able to vote but we have to live in our age. We will never be 13 or 12 again. There will be a time where we can vote but for now LIVE Like a child is suppose to. I'm twelve and enjoy it cause I now that soon I will be eighteen and will be old enough to vote. All I have to do is wait.
