Push to lower Australia's compulsory voting age to 16 as advocate says youngsters feeling 'disenfranchised'

Australian PoliticsEnglish · 1 year ago

Should 16-year-olds like Stella and Jayla be allowed to vote?

Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?
